Method
Directions
- 1
Prepare the Breading Stations
Set up three shallow dishes: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs mixed with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
- 2
Coat the Mozzarella Sticks
Dip each mozzarella stick first into the flour, ensuring it's fully coated. Shake off any excess flour, then dip it into the beaten eggs, and finally coat it with the breadcrumb mixture.
- 3
Heat the Oil
In a large saucepan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
- 4
Fry the Mozzarella Sticks
Carefully add the breaded mozzarella sticks in batches to the hot oil. Fry for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown, turning occasionally to ensure even cooking.
- 5
Drain and Serve
Using a slotted spoon, remove the mozzarella sticks from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve hot with marinara sauce.
