Mozzarella Sticks (6) Recipe

Cooking Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Breading Station

   Set up three bowls: one for flour, one for the egg mixture, and one for breadcrumbs. In the first bowl, add the flour. In the second bowl, whisk together the egg and milk. In the third bowl, combine breadcrumbs, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.

2. 2

   Coat the Mozzarella Sticks

   Dip each mozzarella stick first into the flour, shaking off the excess. Next, dip it into the egg mixture, and then coat it in the breadcrumb mixture. Ensure each stick is fully covered.

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 deep skillet or pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the frozen mozzarella sticks in batches, frying until golden brown (about 2-3 minutes per side).

5. 5

   Drain and Serve

   Remove the mozzarella sticks from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve hot with your choice of sauce.
