Zucchini Sticks

Yield

3 cups

2 quarts: oil for frying

4: eggs

1/4 cup: heavy cream

1/2 teaspoon: ground black pepper

1/4 teaspoon: salt

3: zucchini, quartered

3/4 cup: Italian-style dry bread crumbs

In a heavy saucepan or deep fryer, preheat oil to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

In a blender, mix the eggs, whipped cream, pepper and salt. Transfer the mixture to a medium bowl.

Slice the zucchini into pieces 2 to 3 inches long. Dip the pieces into the egg mixture, then coat them with the bread crumbs.

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.
