Mozzarella Sticks

12 sticks Mozzarella cheese sticks

1 cup 00 bread flour

2 large Eggs

1 cup Breadcrumbs

1 tsp Watkins garlic powder

1 tsp Italian seasoning

1 tsp Celtic sea salt

1/2 tsp black pepper

4 cups Oil for frying

1 cup Marinara sauce

Method

Preparation

Prepare the Cheese Sticks

Freeze the mozzarella sticks for at least 1 hour to prevent them from melting during frying.

Set Up Breading Station

In three separate shallow bowls, place flour in the first, beaten eggs in the second, and a mixture of breadcrumbs, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper in the third.

Bread the Cheese Sticks

Dip each frozen mozzarella stick first in the flour, then in the beaten eggs, and finally coat them with the breadcrumb mixture. Make sure to coat them well.

Fry the Sticks

In a large deep pan, heat the oil over medium heat. Once hot, fry the mozzarella sticks in batches for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from oil and drain on paper towels.

Serve

Serve hot with marinara sauce for dipping.
