Method
Cooking Instructions
- 1
Prepare the Breading Stations
Set up three shallow dishes: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with a mixture of bread crumbs, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
- 2
Coat the Cheese Sticks
Dredge each mozzarella stick first in the flour, shaking off any excess. Then dip it into the beaten eggs, and finally coat it with the bread crumb mixture. Ensure the sticks are fully covered.
- 3
Freeze the Coated Sticks
Place the coated mozzarella sticks on a baking sheet and freeze for at least 30 minutes. This helps them hold their shape while frying.
- 4
Heat the Oil
In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).
- 5
Fry the Mozzarella Sticks
Carefully add a few mozzarella sticks at a time to the hot oil. Fry for about 2-3 minutes until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.
- 6
Serve
Serve the hot mozzarella sticks with a side of marinara sauce for dipping.
