Ingredients for Mozzarella Sticks
Method
Preparation Steps for Mozzarella Sticks
- 1
Prepare the Cheese
Unwrap the string cheese sticks and set aside.
- 2
Set Up Breading Station
In three separate shallow dishes, place the flour, beaten eggs, and breadcrumbs mixed with garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper.
- 3
Bread the Cheese Sticks
Dip each cheese stick first into the flour, ensuring it's coated, then into the egg, and finally into the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere. Repeat for all cheese sticks.
- 4
Chill the Coated Sticks
Place the breaded cheese sticks on a baking sheet and freeze for at least 30 minutes to prevent melting while frying.
- 5
Heat the Oil
In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).
- 6
Fry the Mozzarella Sticks
Carefully fry the mozzarella sticks in batches, for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown. Make sure not to overcrowd the pot.
- 7
Drain and Serve
Remove the fried mozzarella sticks and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve hot with marinara sauce.
