Coating the Mozzarella
- 3
Coat the Cheese Sticks
Take a mozzarella stick and coat it in the flour, shaking off any excess. Next, dip it into the beaten eggs, ensuring it's fully coated, and finally roll it in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing lightly to adhere the crumbs. Repeat this process for all cheese sticks.
Frying

Heat the Oil
In a large, deep skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot, about 350°F (175°C).

Fry the Cheese Sticks
Carefully add the coated mozzarella sticks to the hot oil in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side. Use a slotted spoon to remove them from the oil and drain on paper towels.
