Method

For the Mozzarella Sticks

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Gather all the ingredients and set up a breading station with three shallow dishes: one for flour, one for beaten eggs, and one for breadcrumbs mixed with garlic powder, dried herbs, salt, and pepper.

  2. 2

    Bread the Mozzarella Sticks

    Dip each mozzarella stick in flour, shaking off excess, then dip into the beaten eggs, and finally coat with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.

  3. 3

    Chill the Coated Sticks

    Place the breaded sticks on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and freeze for at least 30 minutes to set.

  4. 4

    Fry the Mozzarella Sticks

    Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry the mozzarella sticks in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.

For the Marinara Dipping Sauce

  1. 5

    Cook the Marinara Sauce

    In a saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in crushed tomatoes, dried herbs, salt, pepper, and sugar. Bring to a simmer.

  2. 6

    Simmer the Sauce

    Reduce heat to low and let the sauce simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened. Adjust seasoning to taste.
