Mozzarella Sticks
Method
Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Cheese Sticks
Freeze the mozzarella sticks for at least 30 minutes to prevent melting while frying.
- 2
Set Up Breading Station
Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with a mixture of bread crumbs, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
- 3
Bread the Cheese Sticks
Dredge each frozen mozzarella stick in flour, dip into the beaten eggs, then coat with the bread crumb mixture. Ensure they are well coated.
- 4
Heat the Oil
In a deep frying pan or pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
- 5
Fry the Mozzarella Sticks
Carefully add the breaded mozzarella sticks to the hot oil in batches. Fry for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown. Remove and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- 6
Serve
Serve the mozzarella sticks hot with your choice of dipping sauce and a side of french fries, sweet potato fries, or corn.
