Coat the Cheese Sticks
Dredge each mozzarella stick in flour, shaking off the excess, then dip it into the beaten eggs, and finally coat it in the breadcrumb mixture. Make sure each stick is fully covered. Repeat with all cheese sticks.
Frying
- 4
Heat the Oil
In a deep frying pan or pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can check the temperature with a thermometer or by dropping a small piece of bread into the oil; it should sizzle immediately.
