For the Mozzarella Sticks

Method

Preparation and Cooking

  1. 1

    Prepare the Coating

    In three separate bowls, set up your breading station. Place the flour in the first bowl. In the second bowl, beat the eggs. In the third bowl, combine the bread crumbs, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.

  2. 2

    Bread the Mozzarella

    Take each mozzarella stick and first dip it in the flour, coating it completely. Next, dip it into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off. Finally, coat the stick in the seasoned bread crumbs, pressing gently to adhere. Repeat this for all mozzarella sticks.

  3. 3

    Freeze the Mozzarella Sticks

    Once breaded, place the mozzarella sticks on a baking sheet and freeze for at least 30 minutes. This helps them hold their shape while frying.

  4. 4

    Fry the Mozzarella Sticks

    In a deep pot or fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Fry the mozzarella sticks in batches until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve hot with marinara sauce for dipping.
