Mozzarella Sticks Recipe

Preparation Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Breading Station

   Set up three shallow bowls. In the first bowl, place the all-purpose flour. In the second bowl, beat the eggs. In the third bowl, mix together the breadcrumbs, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper.

2. 2

   Coat the Mozzarella Sticks

   Dip each mozzarella stick first into the flour, shaking off any excess. Then, dip it into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off. Finally, coat the stick in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere. Repeat until all sticks are coated.

3. 3

   Chill the Coated Sticks

   Place the coated mozzarella sticks on a baking sheet and freeze for at least 30 minutes to help them hold their shape while frying.

4. 4

   Fry the Mozzarella Sticks

   In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Fry the mozzarella sticks in batches for about 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

5. 5

   Serve

   Serve the hot mozzarella sticks with marinara sauce on the side for dipping.
