1
Cut the Mozzarella
Slice the mozzarella cheese into sticks, approximately 1/2 inch thick and 3 inches long.
2
Prepare the Breading Station
Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls. In the first bowl, place the all-purpose flour mixed with salt and black pepper. In the second bowl, beat the eggs lightly. In the third bowl, place the breadcrumbs.
3
Bread the Cheese Sticks
Coat each mozzarella stick in flour, shaking off the excess. Then dip it into the beaten eggs and finally coat it with breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.

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).
5
Fry the Cheese Sticks
Carefully place the breaded mozzarella sticks into the hot oil, working in batches if necessary. Fry for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown, turning occasionally for even cooking.
6
Drain and Serve
Remove the fried mozzarella sticks with a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve hot with marinara sauce for dipping.
