Method
Preparing the Mozzarella Sticks
- 1
Coat the Cheese Sticks
In a shallow bowl, place the all-purpose flour. In another bowl, beat the eggs. In a third bowl, combine breadcrumbs, garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.

Dredge the Cheese Sticks
Take each mozzarella stick and dip it into the flour, shaking off the excess. Then dip it into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off, and finally coat it in the breadcrumb mixture.

Chill the Sticks
Place the coated mozzarella sticks onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and freeze for at least 30 minutes to firm them up.
