Fried Cheese Ingredients

Method

Fried Cheese Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Start by setting up a breading station. Place flour in one bowl, beaten eggs in another, and breadcrumbs mixed with salt and pepper in a third bowl.

  2. 2

    Bread the Cheese Sticks

    Coat each mozzarella stick in flour, then dip it into the beaten eggs, and finally roll it in the breadcrumb mixture until fully covered. Repeat for all cheese sticks.

  3. 3

    Chill the Cheese Sticks

    Place the breaded mozzarella sticks on a baking sheet and freeze for about 30 minutes to help them hold their shape during frying.

  4. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  5. 5

    Fry the Cheese Sticks

    Carefully add the frozen mozzarella sticks to the hot oil in batches, frying for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  6. 6

    Serve

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