Bread the Mozzarella Sticks
Dip each mozzarella stick into the flour, shaking off the excess. Next, dip it into the beaten eggs, and finally coat it with the seasoned bread crumbs. Ensure they are well coated and place them on a baking sheet.

Freeze the Sticks
Place the breaded mozzarella sticks in the freezer for at least 30 minutes. This helps them keep their shape while frying.
