1
Prepare the Cheese Sticks
Freeze the mozzarella cheese sticks for at least 1 hour.
2
Set Up Breading Station
In three separate shallow bowls, place flour in the first, beaten eggs in the second, and mix breadcrumbs with garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper in the third.
3
Bread the Cheese Sticks
Remove cheese sticks from the freezer. Dip each cheese stick first in flour, then in the egg, and finally coat it with the breadcrumb mixture. Repeat for all sticks.
4
Fry the Cheese Sticks
In a deep skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, fry the mozzarella sticks in batches until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.
5
Serve with Marinara Sauce
Serve the fried mozzarella sticks hot with marinara sauce on the side for dipping.
