Fried Mozzarella Cheese Cubes

If you like cheese sticks, but want an awesome "grandma from scratch" version that is really easy...this is the recipe for you! On the bread crumbs, I use Progresso plain breadcrumbs (you can also use the Italian Progresso bread crumbs) because that is really all that is available here around our remote military post! I would much rather use Panko Breadcrumbs...they are the best!!!

• 1  lb mozzarella cheese
