Method

Cheese Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Cheese

    Take the mozzarella cheese sticks and freeze them for at least 30 minutes to ensure they hold their shape during frying.

Breading Mixture

  1. 2

    Create the Breading Setup

    In three separate shallow dishes, place the flour in the first, beat the eggs with milk in the second, and combine breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper in the third.

  2. 3

    Bread the Cheese Sticks

    Remove the frozen mozzarella sticks from the freezer. Dip each stick first in the flour, shaking off any excess, then in the egg mixture, followed by the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring they are completely coated. Repeat this process for all sticks.

Frying

  1. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer for accuracy.

  2. 5

    Fry the Mozzarella Sticks

    Carefully add a few breaded mozzarella sticks to the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for about 2-3 minutes or until they are golden brown and the cheese starts to ooze out. Remove them with a slotted spoon and let drain on paper towels.

Serving

  1. 6

    Serve

    Serve the mozzarella sticks hot with marinara sauce on the side for dipping.
