Method
Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Cheese Sticks
Freeze the mozzarella cheese sticks for at least 1-2 hours until solid. This helps them hold their shape while frying.
- 2
Set Up Breading Station
In three separate bowls, set up your breading station: one with all-purpose flour mixed with salt and black pepper, one with beaten eggs and milk, and one with panko breadcrumbs.

Bread the Cheese Sticks
Take each frozen mozzarella stick and first coat it in the flour mixture, then dip it into the egg mixture, and finally coat it with panko breadcrumbs. Press the breadcrumbs onto the cheese sticks to ensure they adhere well. Repeat for all cheese sticks.
Frying
- 4
Heat the Oil
In a deep pan or fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Ensure there is enough oil to submerge the cheese sticks.
- 5
Fry the Cheese Sticks
Carefully add a few breaded cheese sticks to the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove the cheese sticks and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.

Serve with Sauces
Serve the fried cheese sticks hot with Breaux sauce and Voodoo sauce on the side for dipping.
