Breading Process
- 3
Coat the Cheese Sticks
Take one mozzarella stick and coat it lightly in flour, shaking off the excess. Next, dip it into the beaten eggs, ensuring it is fully coated. Finally, roll it in the breadcrumb mixture until completely covered. Repeat for all cheese sticks.
- 4
Chill the Coated Sticks
Place the breaded cheese sticks on a baking sheet and freeze them for at least 30 minutes to help the coating stick during frying.
Frying
- 5
Heat the Oil
In a deep frying pan or pot, heat the oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
- 6
Fry the Cheese Sticks
Carefully add the frozen cheese sticks to the hot oil in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove them and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.

Serve with Dipping Sauce
