Method

Cheese Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Mozzarella Sticks

    Unwrap the mozzarella cheese sticks and set them aside on a plate.

Breading Mixture

  1. 2

    Prepare the Breading Stations

    Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls. In the first bowl, add the all-purpose flour. In the second bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk. In the third bowl, mix the bread crumbs, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.

  2. 3

    Bread the Mozzarella Sticks

    Coat each mozzarella stick in flour, shaking off the excess. Dip it into the egg mixture, allowing the excess to drip off, then roll it in the bread crumb mixture, pressing lightly to adhere. Repeat for all the cheese sticks.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 375°F (190°C).

  2. 5

    Fry the Mozzarella Sticks

    Carefully add the breaded mozzarella sticks to the hot oil in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

Dipping Sauce

  1. 6

    Serve with Marinara Sauce

    Transfer the fried mozzarella sticks to a serving platter and serve hot with marinara sauce for dipping.
