Mozzarella Sticks
Method
Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Coating
In three separate bowls, place the flour in one, beat the eggs in the second, and mix the breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper in the third.
- 2
Coat the Mozzarella Sticks
Take each mozzarella stick and first coat it in flour, shaking off the excess. Then dip it in the beaten eggs, and finally coat it in the breadcrumb mixture. Repeat for all sticks.
- 3
Chill the Coated Sticks
Place the coated mozzarella sticks on a baking sheet and freeze for at least 30 minutes to help them hold their shape while frying.
- 4
Heat the Oil
In a deep pan or fryer, heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
- 5
Fry the Sticks
Carefully add the frozen mozzarella sticks to the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Serve with Mama's Sauce
