Mozzarella Sticks Recipe

Preparation

1. 1

   Prepare the breading station

   Set up three shallow bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with a mixture of breadcrumbs, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.

2. 2

   Bread the mozzarella sticks

   Dip each mozzarella stick first in flour, then in the beaten eggs, and finally in the breadcrumb mixture. Make sure they are well-coated.

3. 3

   Freeze the sticks

   Place the breaded sticks on a baking sheet and freeze for at least 30 minutes to help them hold their shape during frying.

4. 4

   Heat the oil

   In a deep pot or fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).

5. 5

   Fry the mozzarella sticks

   Carefully add the frozen mozzarella sticks to the hot oil in batches. Fry for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.

6. 6

   Serve

   Serve the mozzarella sticks hot with marinara sauce on the side for dipping.
