Fried Mozzarella Stick Recipe

Fried Mozzarella Stick Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Cheese Sticks

   Freeze the mozzarella cheese sticks for at least 1 hour to prevent them from melting too quickly during frying.

2. 2

   Set Up Breading Station

   In three shallow bowls, place the flour in the first bowl, beaten eggs in the second, and combine the bread crumbs, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper in the third.

3. 3

   Bread the Cheese Sticks

   Remove the cheese sticks from the freezer. Dip each stick in the flour, then coat with the egg, and finally roll in the bread crumb mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated. Repeat for all cheese sticks.

4. 4

   Heat the Oil

   In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).

5. 5

   Fry the Cheese Sticks

   Carefully place the breaded mozzarella sticks in the hot oil, cooking in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.

6. 6

   Serve

   Serve the fried mozzarella sticks hot with marinara sauce for dipping.
