1
Prepare the Breading Station
Set up three shallow bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs mixed with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
2
Bread the Mozzarella
Dip each mozzarella stick in flour, shaking off excess, then in the beaten eggs, and finally coat with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere. Repeat for all sticks.
3
Chill the Sticks
Place the breaded mozzarella sticks on a baking sheet and freeze for at least 30 minutes to help them hold their shape while frying.
4
Heat the Oil
In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).
5
Fry the Mozzarella Sticks
Fry the mozzarella sticks in batches for about 1-2 minutes or until golden brown. Remove them with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
6
Serve
Serve the fried mozzarella sticks warm with marinara sauce on the side for dipping.
