Mozzarella Sticks Recipe

Cooking Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Cheese Sticks

   Freeze the mozzarella cheese sticks for at least 30 minutes to keep their shape during frying.

2. 2

   Set Up Dredging Station

   In three separate bowls, place flour in the first, beaten eggs in the second, and a mixture of breadcrumbs, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper in the third.

3. 3

   Coat the Cheese Sticks

   Remove the cheese sticks from the freezer. Dip each stick first into the flour, then into the beaten eggs, and finally coat with the breadcrumb mixture. Repeat for all sticks.

4. 4

   Heat the Oil

   In a deep frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

5. 5

   Fry the Cheese Sticks

   Carefully add a few cheese sticks to the hot oil and fry for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

6. 6

   Serve

   Serve hot with marinara sauce for dipping.
