Prepare the Breaded Coating
In three separate bowls, place the flour, beaten eggs, and a mixture of bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.

Coat the Cheese Sticks
Dip each mozzarella stick first into the flour, shaking off any excess. Next, dip in the beaten eggs, and finally coat with the bread crumb mixture. Ensure each stick is evenly coated.

Chill the Coated Sticks
Place the coated mozzarella sticks on a baking sheet and freeze for at least 30 minutes. This helps them hold their shape while frying.

Heat the Oil
In a deep pot, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C) over medium heat.

Fry the Mozzarella Sticks
Carefully place the frozen mozzarella sticks in the hot oil, frying in batches if necessary. Cook for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.

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