Bread the Cheese Sticks
Coat each mozzarella stick first in flour, making sure to cover all sides, then dip it into the beaten eggs, and finally coat it with breadcrumbs mixed with grated Parmesan, salt, and black pepper. Repeat for all cheese sticks.
Frying

Heat the Oil
In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

Fry the Mozzarella Sticks
Carefully add the breaded mozzarella sticks to the hot oil in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown, turning occasionally for even cooking.

Drain and Cool
Using a slotted spoon, remove the fried mozzarella sticks from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Repeat with remaining sticks.
