Mozzarella Sticks Recipe

Preparation

1. 1

   Prepare the Cheese

   Cut the mozzarella cheese into sticks, about 4 inches long and 1 inch thick. Freeze the cheese sticks for at least 30 minutes to firm them up.

2. 2

   Set Up Breading Station

   In three separate bowls, place the flour, beaten eggs, and breadcrumbs mixed with garlic powder, oregano, salt, and black pepper.

3. 3

   Bread the Mozzarella Sticks

   Remove the mozzarella sticks from the freezer. Dip each stick first in flour, then in the beaten eggs, and finally in the breadcrumb mixture, making sure to coat evenly. Repeat this process for all sticks.

4. 4

   Fry the Mozzarella Sticks

   In a deep skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully place the breaded mozzarella sticks in the oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for about 2-3 minutes per side or until golden brown and crispy.

5. 5

   Drain and Serve

   Remove the mozzarella sticks from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Sprinkle the hot sticks with grated Parmesan cheese.
