Main Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Mozzarella Sticks
Start by placing the mozzarella cheese sticks in the freezer for about 30 minutes to firm them up. This will help them hold their shape during frying.

Set Up Breading Station
In three separate shallow bowls, place the flour in the first bowl, beat the eggs in the second bowl, and mix the bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder in the third bowl.

Bread the Cheese Sticks
Take a mozzarella stick from the freezer, coat it in flour, making sure to shake off any excess. Dip the floured stick into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess egg to drip off. Finally, roll it in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere the crumbs. Repeat this process for all mozzarella sticks.

Double Coat for Extra Crispiness
For extra crispy mozzarella sticks, dip the breaded sticks back into the egg and then again into the breadcrumb mixture. Ensure that they are well-coated.

Fry the Mozzarella Sticks
Carefully add a few mozzarella sticks to the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for 1-2 minutes until golden brown, turning occasionally for even cooking.
