Cheese Preparation
Method
Preparation
- 1
Cut the Cheese
Slice the mozzarella cheese into sticks about 1/2 inch thick and 3 inches long. Ensure they are uniform for even cooking.

Set Up Breading Station
In three separate bowls, prepare your breading station: one with all-purpose flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with a mixture of bread crumbs, garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.

Coat the Cheese Sticks
Take a mozzarella stick and dip it into the flour to coat it lightly, shaking off any excess. Then, dip it into the beaten eggs, ensuring it's fully covered. Finally, roll it in the bread crumb mixture until well coated. Repeat with all cheese sticks.
Frying
- 4
Heat the Oil
In a deep frying pan, heat the oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can test the temperature by dropping in a small piece of bread; it should sizzle and brown quickly.
- 5
Fry the Mozzarella Sticks
Carefully place the breaded mozzarella sticks in the hot oil, frying them in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown, turning occasionally for even cooking.
- 6
Drain and Cool
Once golden brown, remove the sticks from the oil using a slotted spoon and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil. Allow to cool slightly before serving.
Serving
- 7
Serve Hot
Serve the mini mozzarella sticks warm with marinara sauce or your favorite dipping sauce on the side.
