Fried Cheese Sticks
You can also make this with fresh mozzarella, which is much lower in sodium than the regular kind. A number of stores, including Food Lion and Giant Food here in the Washington DC suburbs, carry blocks of no salt added Swiss cheese, with 10 mg per serving.
1/2 c Flour
1 lb Swiss Cheese,No Salt Added
1/2 c Skim Milk
1/4 c Egg Substitute,Or One Whole Egg
2 t Sodium Free Baking Powder
Cut cheese into 1/2 inch sticks. Heat oil in deep fryer or saucepan to 375 degrees. Combine flour and baking powder. Beat 1 cup of flour mixture, milk and egg with fork until smooth. Coat cheese sticks lightly with dry flour mix and insert round wooden pick in each cube. Dip into batter, covering cheese completely. Fry several sticks at a time, turning carefully until golden brown (1 to 2 minutes). Drain on paper towel.
