Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Cut the Cheese

    Cut the mozzarella cheese into sticks, approximately 1/2 inch thick and 4 inches long. Place them on a plate and freeze for at least 30 minutes to firm up.

Breading Process

  1. 2

    Set up the Breading Station

    In three separate shallow bowls, prepare the breading station: In the first bowl, add the all-purpose flour. In the second bowl, beat the two eggs. In the third bowl, combine the bread crumbs, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.

  2. 3

    Bread the Cheese Sticks

    Take a frozen mozzarella stick and coat it in flour, shaking off any excess. Dip it in the beaten eggs, then roll it in the seasoned bread crumbs until fully coated. Repeat this process for all cheese sticks.

Frying

  1. 4

    Heat the Oil

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

  2. 5

    Fry the Cheese Sticks

    Carefully add a few breaded mozzarella sticks to the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry them for about 2-3 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Serving

  1. 6

    Serve

    Serve the hot mozzarella sticks with marinara sauce for dipping. Enjoy your delicious homemade mozzarella sticks!
