Fried mozzarella sticks with marinara
1 lb. mozzarella cheese
1/2 c. flour
3 large eggs
1 c. bread crumbs
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1/2 tsp. oregano
1/2 tsp. ground cumin
pinch salt and pepper
8 oz. marinara sauce, chilled
vegetable oil
Cut the mozzarella into sticks a bit more than about 1/4 in thick, and about 1½ in long. Coat the sticks with flour, shaking off excess. Combine the bread crumbs and seasonings in a flat dish. Beat the eggs and place in a separate bowl. Coat the sticks by dipping them in the egg and then in the bread crumbs. The coating on the first stick should be fairly dry when you finish the last stick. Repeat with another dip in the egg and then in the bread crumbs. Deep-fry the coated sticks in oil for about 3 to 4 minutes until the coating is cooked. Fry in batches, keeping the finished ones warm in the oven. Serve with chilled marinara sauce or salsa.

In 1994, 7-Eleven coined the term "brain freeze." The word was developed to explain the feeling people get when drinking a Slurpee.
