Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prep the Cheese

    Freeze the mozzarella sticks for at least 30 minutes to an hour to prevent them from melting too quickly during frying.

  2. 2

    Set Up Breading Station

    In three separate bowls, place flour, beaten eggs, and bread crumbs mixed with garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.

  3. 3

    Bread the Cheese Sticks

    Dip each frozen mozzarella stick first in flour, then in the beaten eggs, and finally coat them in the seasoned bread crumbs. For extra crunch, you can double bread them by repeating the egg and breadcrumb steps.

  4. 4

    Heat the Oil

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

  5. 5

    Fry the Mozzarella Sticks

    Carefully add the breaded mozzarella sticks to the hot oil in batches, frying for about 1-2 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Remove them and drain on paper towels.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve hot with marinara sauce for dipping.
