Coat the Cheese Sticks
Take a mozzarella stick and coat it in flour, shaking off the excess. Dip it into the beaten eggs, then roll it in the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring it is fully covered. Repeat with all cheese sticks.

Double Dipping (Optional)
For extra crunch, dip each breaded cheese stick back into the egg and then back into the breadcrumbs for a second coating.

Heat the Oil
In a large, deep skillet or frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 180°C (350°F).

Fry the Cheese Sticks
