Fried Mozzarella Sticks
Method
Preparation
Prepare the Cheese
Freeze the mozzarella sticks for at least 30 minutes to firm them up.
Set Up Breading Station
In three separate shallow dishes, place flour, beaten eggs, and breadcrumbs mixed with garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Heat Oil
In a deep skillet or fryer, heat oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Fry the Mozzarella Sticks
Carefully place the breaded mozzarella sticks in the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown.
Drain and Serve
Remove the fried sticks with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Serve hot with marinara sauce for dipping.
