Ingredients
Method
Directions
- 1
Prepare the Coating
In three separate shallow bowls, place the flour in one, beaten eggs in another, and a mixture of bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper in the third.
- 2
Coat the Mozzarella Sticks
Dip each mozzarella stick first into the flour, then into the beaten eggs, and finally into the bread crumb mixture. Make sure each stick is evenly coated.
- 3
Chill the Coated Sticks
Place the coated mozzarella sticks on a baking sheet and freeze for at least 30 minutes to help them hold their shape while frying.
- 4
Heat the Oil
In a deep frying pan or pot, heat the oil to 350°F (175°C). You can test if the oil is ready by dropping in a small piece of bread; it should sizzle immediately.
- 5
Fry the Mozzarella Sticks
Carefully add the frozen mozzarella sticks to the hot oil in batches. Fry them for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
- 6
Serve
Serve the mozzarella sticks hot with marinara sauce on the side for dipping.
