1
Cut the Mozzarella
Slice the mozzarella cheese into sticks, approximately 1 inch thick and 3 inches long.
2
Set Up Breading Station
In three separate shallow bowls, place the flour in the first bowl, beaten eggs in the second bowl, and breadcrumbs mixed with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning in the third bowl.

3
Coat the Mozzarella
Take each mozzarella stick and first coat it in flour, shaking off any excess. Then, dip it in the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off, and finally coat it in the breadcrumb mixture.
4
Repeat
Repeat the coating process for all mozzarella sticks. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

5
Heat Oil
In a deep skillet or frying pan, 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, frying them for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown.
7
Drain and Serve
Once golden brown, remove the mozzarella sticks from the oil using a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve hot with marinara sauce or your favorite dipping sauce.
