Fried Mozzarella Recipe

Fried Mozzarella Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Breading Station

   In three separate shallow bowls, place flour in the first bowl, beaten eggs in the second, and breadcrumbs mixed with salt, pepper, and garlic powder in the third.

2. 2

   Bread the Mozzarella Sticks

   Dip each mozzarella stick first into the flour, then into the egg, and finally coat it with the breadcrumb mixture. Ensure each stick is well-coated.

3. 3

   Chill the Sticks

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

4. 4

   Heat the Oil

   In a deep skillet or pot, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

5. 5

   Fry the Mozzarella Sticks

   Carefully add the frozen mozzarella sticks to the hot oil in batches, frying for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

6. 6

   Serve

   Serve the fried mozzarella sticks hot with marinara sauce for dipping.
