1
Prepare the Breading Station
Set up three bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs mixed with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
2
Bread the Cheese Sticks
Dip each mozzarella stick into the flour, ensuring it is evenly coated. Then, dip it into the beaten eggs, allowing excess to drip off. Finally, coat the stick with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere. Repeat until all cheese sticks are coated.
3
Chill the Sticks
Place the breaded mozzarella sticks on a baking sheet and freeze for at least 30 minutes to help the coating adhere better during frying.
4
Fry the Sticks
In a large pot or deep fryer, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the frozen mozzarella sticks in batches. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.
5
Serve
Serve the mozzarella sticks hot with a side of house-made marinara sauce for dipping.
