Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Cheese Sticks

    Freeze the mozzarella cheese sticks for at least 30 minutes to help them hold their shape during frying.

  2. 2

    Set Up Breading Station

    In three separate bowls, place flour in the first bowl, beaten eggs in the second bowl, and a mixture of bread crumbs, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper in the third bowl.

  3. 3

    Bread the Cheese Sticks

    Take each frozen cheese stick, coat it in flour, dip it in the egg, and then roll it in the bread crumb mixture. Ensure they are well coated.

  4. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the oil to 350°F (175°C).

  5. 5

    Fry the Cheese Sticks

    Carefully add the breaded cheese sticks to the hot oil in batches. Fry for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown. Remove them with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the cheese sticks hot with marinara sauce or your favorite dipping sauce.
