Cheese Preparation

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Cheese

    Unwrap each string cheese stick and set aside on a plate.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Breading Stations

    In three separate shallow bowls, set up your breading stations: 1st bowl with flour, 2nd bowl with beaten eggs mixed with milk, and the 3rd bowl with breadcrumbs mixed with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and dried oregano.

Breading the Cheese

  1. 3

    Coat the Cheese

    Take each cheese stick and first coat it in the flour, shaking off any excess.

  2. 4

    Dip in Egg Mixture

    Next, dip the floured cheese stick into the egg mixture, ensuring it is fully coated.

  3. 5

    Coat with Breadcrumbs

    Finally, roll the cheese stick in the breadcrumb mixture until fully coated. Set aside on a plate and repeat for all cheese sticks.

Frying

  1. 6

    Heat the Oil

    In a large pot or deep skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can test the heat by dropping a small amount of breadcrumb into the oil; if it sizzles, it's ready.

  2. 7

    Fry the Mozzarella Sticks

    Carefully place a few breaded cheese sticks into the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown, turning occasionally for even cooking.

  3. 8

    Drain and Serve

    Using a slotted spoon, remove the mozzarella sticks from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve warm with marinara sauce for dipping.
