1
Prepare the Cheese
Cut the fresh mozzarella into sticks, about 1/2 inch wide and 4 inches long.
2
Set Up Breading Station
In three separate bowls, place the flour in the first bowl, beat the eggs in the second bowl, and place the breadcrumbs mixed with salt and pepper in the third bowl.
3
Bread the Mozzarella
Coat each mozzarella stick first in flour, then dip into the beaten eggs, and finally coat with breadcrumbs. Ensure they are fully covered.
4
Chill the Mozzarella Sticks
Place the breaded mozzarella sticks on a baking sheet and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to help the coating adhere.
5
Heat the Oil
In a deep frying pan, heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
6
Fry the Mozzarella
Carefully add a few mozzarella sticks to the hot oil and fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.
7
Serve
Serve hot with house marinara sauce or melba sauce for dipping.
