"As viscous as motor oil swirled in a swamp, redolent of burnt bell peppers nested in by incontinent mice and a finish reminiscent of the dregs of a stale can of Coca-Cola that someone has been using as an ashtray. Not a bad drink, though."--Excerpt from "The Moose Turd Wine Tasting" by T. A. Nonymous

Directions:
In a sauce pan over medium heat, warm 1/2 c. oil. Add garlic and red pepper flakes and cook 1 minute. Add crushed tomatoes and simmer 6 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.

Preheat oven to 200 degrees. Drain cheese and pat dry. In bowl, whisk eggs and milk. Put egg mixture, flour and bread crumbs in separate wide, shallow bowls. Roll cheese in flour, dip into egg mixture and coat with crumbs, shaking off excess after each step. Bread each piece of cheese again.

In a large, deep saute pan over medium-high heat, heat 3" oil to 350 degrees. Fry cheese in batches until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Drain on paper towels. Season fried cheese with salt and pepper. Place on a wire rack over baking sheet and keep warm in the oven. Let cheese cool at least 7 min. before serving. Serve with warm tomato sauce for dipping.
