Method
Cheese Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Mozzarella
Take the mozzarella cheese sticks and freeze them for at least 1 hour. This helps them hold their shape while frying.
Breading Mixture
- 2
Set Up Breading Station
In three separate bowls, set up your breading station: In the first bowl, add the all-purpose flour. In the second bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk. In the third bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.

Bread the Mozzarella Sticks
Take a frozen mozzarella stick, coat it in the flour, then dip it in the egg mixture, and finally roll it in the breadcrumb mixture. Ensure each stick is well coated. Repeat with all mozzarella sticks.
Frying
- 4
Heat the Oil
In a deep skillet or frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
- 5
Fry the Mozzarella Sticks
Carefully add the breaded mozzarella sticks to the hot oil, frying them in batches if necessary. Fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
- 6
Drain Excess Oil
Using a slotted spoon, remove the mozzarella sticks from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
