The idea for this came from a very common low carb snack idea of wrapping salami or ham around a cheese stick. Then of course you have the ooey gooey mozzarella sticks, but they come coated in breadcrumbs, and therefore, carbs. As far as I could tell, no-one has tried cooking the salami and cheese once they were combined. At first I tried baking them, but the cheese melted way before the salami got warm, never mind crispy. So frying was the way to go.

How to Make Fried Salami and Mozzarella Cheese Sticks

Take two slices of salami, overlapping slightly, and wrap them around a mozzarella cheese string. It takes just a few seconds to prepare each one.

Warm a non-stick skillet over a medium-high heat (actually I used a grill pan, because the ridges kept the sticks in place); no oil is needed. Place each wrapped stick into the skillet seam-side-down. They need barely a minute on each side before the salami starts to get crispy.

Remove from the pan before the cheese threatens to melt right out of the salami, and drain on paper towels. This stage is important, because otherwise these low carb snacks will just be WAY too greasy.Fried Salami and Mozzarella Cheese Sticks - low carb snack recipe

Place on a serving plate and serve warm, although you'll still need to provide napkins for these moreish snacks!

I am going to try these but I may freeze the cheese sticks first. Maybe that will let the salon be crisp up better.
