Fried Mozzarella Marinara Recipe

Fried Mozzarella Marinara Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Cheese

   Slice the fresh mozzarella cheese into sticks, about 1/2 inch thick.

2. 2

   Set Up Dredging Stations

   In three separate shallow bowls, place the flour in the first, beat the eggs in the second, and mix the bread crumbs with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper in the third.

3. 3

   Dredge the Cheese

   Coat each mozzarella stick first in flour, then dip in the beaten eggs, and finally roll in the seasoned bread crumbs. Ensure they are fully coated.

4. 4

   Heat the Oil

   In a large frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

5. 5

   Fry the Mozzarella Sticks

   Carefully add the coated mozzarella sticks to the hot oil in batches. Fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.

6. 6

   Drain and Serve

   Remove the fried mozzarella sticks and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve hot with marinara sauce on the side.
