Set Up Breading Station

Bread the Cheese Sticks
Take each frozen mozzarella stick and coat it in the flour, shaking off any excess. Next, dip it into the beaten eggs, ensuring it is fully coated. Finally, roll it in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere. Repeat with all cheese sticks.

Fry the Cheese Sticks
Carefully add the breaded mozzarella sticks to the hot oil in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove them from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
