Method

Cheese Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Mozzarella Sticks

    Take the mozzarella cheese sticks out of the packaging and place them on a plate. Set aside while you prepare the breading mixture.

Breading Mixture

  1. 2

    Create the Breading Setup

    In three separate shallow bowls, set up your breading station: In the first bowl, place the all-purpose flour. In the second bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined. In the third bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.

  2. 3

    Bread the Mozzarella Sticks

    Take one mozzarella stick and coat it in the flour, ensuring it's fully covered. Next, dip it into the egg mixture, allowing excess to drip off. Finally, roll the stick in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere. Repeat this process for all mozzarella sticks.

Frying Mixture

  1. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a large deep skillet or pot, pour in the vegetable oil. Heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can check the temperature by dropping a small piece of bread into the oil; if it sizzles and turns golden brown, the oil is ready.

  2. 5

    Fry the Mozzarella Sticks

    Carefully place a few breaded mozzarella sticks into the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove them from the oil and drain on paper towels. Repeat with the remaining sticks.

Serving

  1. 6

    Serve the Mozzarella Sticks

    Arrange the fried mozzarella sticks on a serving platter and serve warm with marinara sauce for dipping.
