Mozzarella Sticks
Method
Instructions
- 1
Prepare the Breading Station
Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes. Place flour in the first dish, beaten eggs in the second, and a mixture of bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in the third.

Bread the Mozzarella Sticks
Dip each mozzarella stick first in the flour, ensuring it's fully coated. Next, dip it into the beaten eggs, allowing excess to drip off. Finally, coat it in the bread crumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere. Repeat for all cheese sticks.

Chill the Breaded Sticks
Place the breaded mozzarella sticks on a baking sheet and freeze for about 30 minutes. This helps them maintain their shape during frying.

Fry the Mozzarella Sticks
Heat oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C). Fry the mozzarella sticks in batches for 2-3 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.
