Mozzarella Sticks Recipe

Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Cheese Sticks

   Take the mozzarella cheese sticks and place them in the freezer for about 30 minutes to firm up.

2. 2

   Set Up Breading Station

   Set up three bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with bread crumbs mixed with garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.

3. 3

   Bread the Cheese Sticks

   Remove the cheese sticks from the freezer. Dredge each stick in flour, dip it in the egg, and then coat it with the seasoned bread crumbs. Press gently to adhere.

4. 4

   Heat Oil

   In a deep frying pan, heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

5. 5

   Fry the Mozzarella Sticks

   Carefully place the breaded mozzarella sticks in the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for about 2-3 minutes until golden brown.

6. 6

   Drain and Serve

   Remove the fried mozzarella sticks and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve hot with marinara sauce.
