Coat the Mozzarella Sticks
Take a mozzarella stick and coat it in flour, shaking off the excess. Then, dip it into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off. Finally, coat it in the seasoned breadcrumbs, pressing gently to ensure the breadcrumbs stick. Repeat with all mozzarella sticks.
Frying
- 5
Heat the Oil
In a large, deep pan or fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
- 6
Fry the Mozzarella Sticks
Carefully add the breaded mozzarella sticks to the hot oil in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown, turning occasionally.

Drain and Serve
Once golden brown, remove the mozzarella sticks from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve hot with marinara sauce for dipping.
