1
Prepare the Ingredients
Gather all ingredients and set up a breading station with three bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs mixed with garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
2
Bread the Cheese Sticks
Dip each mozzarella stick first into the flour, then into the beaten eggs, and finally coat with the breadcrumb mixture. Ensure they are evenly coated.
3
Chill the Sticks
Place the breaded mozzarella sticks on a baking sheet and freeze them for at least 30 minutes to help them hold their shape while frying.
4
Heat the Oil
In a deep frying pan, heat oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
5
Fry the Cheese Sticks
Fry the frozen mozzarella sticks in batches for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.
6
Serve
Serve the hot cheese sticks with marinara sauce for dipping.
