Ingredients

Method

Directions

1

Prepare the cheese

Cut the mozzarella cheese into 3-inch sticks and place them in the freezer for about 30 minutes to firm up.

2

Set up the breading station

In three separate shallow bowls, place the flour in the first, beaten eggs in the second, and a mixture of breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper in the third.

3

Bread the cheese sticks

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

4

Heat the oil

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

5

Fry the cheese sticks

Carefully add the breaded cheese sticks to the hot oil in batches. Fry for about 1-2 minutes or until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.

6

Serve

Serve the mozzarella sticks hot with marinara sauce for dipping.
