Fried Mozzarella
Method
Preparation and Cooking
- 1
Prepare the Breading Station
Set up a breading station by placing the flour, beaten eggs, and breadcrumbs in three separate shallow dishes. Season the flour with salt and black pepper.
- 2
Bread the Mozzarella Sticks
Take one mozzarella stick, dip it into the flour, coating it completely. Then, dip it into the beaten eggs, allowing excess to drip off, and finally coat it with breadcrumbs. Press the breadcrumbs onto the cheese to ensure it sticks. Repeat this process for all mozzarella sticks.
- 3
Heat the Oil
In a large skillet, pour enough oil to cover the bottom (about 1 inch deep) and heat over medium-high heat until it shimmers.
- 4
Fry the Mozzarella Sticks
Carefully add the breaded mozzarella sticks to the hot oil, frying them in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove them and transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Serve
Arrange the fried mozzarella sticks on a serving plate and serve hot with marinara sauce on the side for dipping.
