Method

For the Mozzarella Sticks

  1. 1

    Prepare the Cheese

    Freeze the mozzarella cheese sticks for at least 1 hour until firm.

  2. 2

    Set Up Breading Station

    In three separate shallow dishes, place flour in the first, beaten eggs in the second, and bread crumbs mixed with salt, pepper, and garlic powder in the third.

  3. 3

    Bread the Cheese Sticks

    Remove the mozzarella sticks from the freezer. Dredge each stick in flour, dip into the beaten eggs, then coat with the breadcrumb mixture. Repeat for all sticks.

  4. 4

    Fry the Mozzarella Sticks

    In a large pot, heat the oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Fry the mozzarella sticks in batches for about 2-3 minutes until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.

For the Marinara Sauce

  1. 5

    Heat Olive Oil

    In a saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat.

  2. 6

    Add minced garlic to the pan and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

    Pour in the crushed tomatoes and add oregano, basil, salt, pepper, and sugar. Stir to combine.

  4. 8

    Simmer the Sauce

    Bring the sauce to a simmer and let it cook uncovered for about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally until it thickens slightly.
