Zucchini Sticks

Ingredients

• 2 quarts oil for frying
• 4 eggs
• 0.25 cup heavy cream
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 3 zucchini, quartered
• 0.75 cup Italian-style dry bread crumbs

Steps

1. In a heavy saucepan or deep fryer, preheat oil to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2. In a blender, mix the eggs, whipped cream, pepper and salt. Transfer the mixture to a medium bowl.
3. Slice the zucchini into pieces 2 to 3 inches long. Dip the pieces into the egg mixture, then coat them with the bread crumbs.
4. Carefully place the battered pieces in the oil and fry 3 to 4 minutes, until brown and crispy. Drain fried pieces on a paper towel. Repeat until all the slices have been fried.
