For the Mozzarella Sticks

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Cheese

    Cut the mozzarella sticks in half if desired for shorter sticks.

  2. 2

    Set Up Breading Station

    In three separate shallow bowls, place the flour in the first, beaten eggs in the second, and mix the bread crumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper in the third.

  3. 3

    Bread the Cheese

    Dip each mozzarella stick first in the flour, then in the beaten eggs, and finally in the bread crumb mixture. Ensure each stick is fully coated. For extra crunch, repeat the egg and breading step.

  4. 4

    Chill the Sticks

    Place the breaded mozzarella sticks on a baking sheet and freeze for at least 30 minutes.

  5. 5

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep skillet or pot, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  6. 6

    Fry the Sticks

    Carefully add the frozen mozzarella sticks to the hot oil in batches. Fry for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown, turning occasionally.

  7. 7

    Drain and Serve

    Remove the sticks from the oil and drain on paper towels. Serve hot with marinara sauce or your favorite dipping sauce.
