1
Prep the Cheese Sticks
Cut mozzarella cheese into sticks if not pre-cut. Freeze for 30 minutes to firm up.
2
Set Up Breading Station
Set up three shallow bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and the last with breadcrumbs mixed with garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
3
Bread the Mozzarella Sticks
Coat each cheese stick in flour, dip in eggs, and then coat with breadcrumb mixture. Ensure they are well-covered.
4
Heat the Oil
In a deep pan, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot (about 350°F or 175°C).
5
Fry the Mozzarella Sticks
Working in batches, fry the breaded mozzarella sticks for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.
6
Serve
Serve hot with marinara sauce on the side for dipping.
