Mozzarella Sticks
Method
Preparation
- 1
Prepare the cheese sticks
Cut each mozzarella cheese stick in half if desired. Freeze the cheese sticks for at least 30 minutes to prevent them from melting too quickly while frying.
- 2
Set up the breading station
In three separate bowls, place the flour, beaten eggs, and a mixture of breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper.
- 3
Bread the cheese sticks
Coat each mozzarella stick in flour, then dip it in the beaten eggs, and finally roll it in the breadcrumb mixture until fully coated.
- 4
Heat the oil
In a large pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
- 5
Fry the cheese sticks
Carefully place a few cheese sticks in the hot oil and fry for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
- 6
Serve
Serve hot with marinara sauce, alongside a serving of French fries or a fruit cup if desired.
