Cheese Sticks Ingredients

Method

Cheese Sticks Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Breading Station

    Set up three shallow bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with a mixture of breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.

  2. 2

    Bread the Cheese Sticks

    Dip each mozzarella stick in the flour, shaking off excess. Then, dip in the beaten eggs, and finally coat with the breadcrumb mixture. Repeat for all cheese sticks.

  3. 3

    Chill the Cheese Sticks

    Place the breaded cheese sticks on a baking sheet and freeze for at least 30 minutes to help them hold their shape during frying.

  4. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a large pot or deep fryer, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).

  5. 5

    Fry the Cheese Sticks

    Carefully add the frozen cheese sticks to the hot oil in batches, frying for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve hot, with marinara sauce or your favorite dipping sauce.
