Main Ingredients

For Frying

For Marinara Sauce

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Breading Station

    Set up three bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with a mixture of bread crumbs and seasonings (garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper).

  2. 2

    Coat the Mozzarella

    Take each mozzarella stick and first coat it in flour, then dip it into the beaten eggs, and finally roll it in the seasoned bread crumbs until well coated.

Frying

  1. 3

    Heat the Oil

    In a large pot or deep fryer, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Ensure there is enough oil to fully submerge the mozzarella sticks.

  2. 4

    Fry the Mozzarella Sticks

    Carefully add the breaded mozzarella sticks to the hot oil, cooking them in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for about 2-3 minutes or until they are golden brown.

  3. 5

    Drain and Cool

    Remove the fried mozzarella sticks using a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Serving

  1. 6

    Serve with Marinara

    Arrange the mozzarella sticks on a serving platter and serve hot with marinara sauce on the side for dipping.
