Method
Cheese Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Cheese
Cut the mozzarella cheese sticks in half if desired for shorter sticks. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and freeze for at least 30 minutes until firm.

Bread the Cheese Sticks
Take the frozen mozzarella sticks one at a time. First, coat them in flour, shaking off any excess. Next, dip them into the egg mixture, allowing excess to drip off, and finally coat them with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to ensure an even coating.
Frying
- 4
Heat the Oil
In a deep skillet or pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer for accuracy.
- 5
Fry the Mozzarella Sticks
Carefully place the breaded mozzarella sticks in the hot oil, cooking in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for about 2-3 minutes, turning occasionally until golden brown and crispy.

Drain and Serve
Once cooked, remove the mozzarella sticks from the oil using a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Serve hot with marinara sauce for dipping, if desired.
