Mozzarella Sticks Recipe

Directions for Preparing Mozzarella Sticks

1. 1

   Prepare the Cheese

   Freeze mozzarella sticks for at least 30 minutes to firm them up.

2. 2

   Set Up Breading Station

   Set up three bowls for the breading process: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs mixed with garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.

3. 3

   Bread the Cheese Sticks

   Dip each mozzarella stick first in flour, then in the beaten eggs, and finally coat with the breadcrumb mixture. Press the breadcrumbs onto the sticks to ensure they stick well.

4. 4

   Fry the Mozzarella Sticks

   In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the oil to 350°F (175°C). Fry the breaded mozzarella sticks in batches until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes. Remove them and drain on paper towels.

5. 5

   Serve

   Serve hot with marinara sauce for dipping.
