1
Prepare the Cheese
Cut the mozzarella cheese into sticks, approximately 1 inch wide and 3 inches long.
2
Set Up Breading Stations
In three separate bowls, prepare the breading stations: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs mixed with salt, pepper, and paprika.
3
Bread the Cheese Sticks
Dip each cheese stick first in flour, then in the egg wash, and finally coat with breadcrumbs. Ensure they are well coated.
4
Chill the Cheese Sticks
Place the breaded cheese sticks on a tray and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
5
Heat the Oil
In a deep frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot.
6
Fry the Cheese Sticks
Carefully add the chilled cheese sticks to the hot oil, frying in batches until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.
7
Drain and Serve
Remove the cheese fingers from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
