Mozzarella Stick Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

1

Prepare the Coating

In a shallow bowl, place the flour. In a second bowl, beat the eggs. In a third bowl, mix the breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and black pepper together.

2

Coat the Cheese Sticks

Take each mozzarella stick and first dip it in the flour, shaking off any excess. Then, dip it into the beaten eggs, and finally coat it with the breadcrumb mixture. Make sure each stick is evenly covered. Repeat with all cheese sticks.

3

Chill the Coated Sticks

Place the coated mozzarella sticks on a baking sheet and freeze them for at least 30 minutes. This helps the coating adhere better during frying.

4

Heat the Oil

In a deep skillet or pot, heat vegetable oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

5

Fry the Sticks

Carefully add the frozen mozzarella sticks to the hot oil in batches. Fry for about 1-2 minutes or until golden brown. Remove them with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

6

Serve

Serve the mozzarella sticks hot with marinara sauce for dipping.
