Fried Mozzarella Sticks

Method

Preparation

1

Prepare the Cheese

Freeze the mozzarella sticks for at least 30 minutes to firm them up.

2

Set Up Breading Station

In three separate shallow dishes, place flour, beaten eggs, and breadcrumbs mixed with garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

3

Bread the Mozzarella Sticks

Remove frozen mozzarella sticks from the freezer. First, coat each stick in flour, then dip into the beaten eggs, and finally roll in the breadcrumb mixture until evenly coated.

4

Heat Oil

In a deep skillet or fryer, heat oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

5

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.

6

Drain and Serve

Remove the fried sticks with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Serve hot with marinara sauce for dipping.
