Mozzarella Sticks (7) Recipe

Directions for Cooking Mozzarella Sticks

1. 1

   Prepare the Cheese

   Freeze the mozzarella sticks for at least 30 minutes to an hour to prevent them from melting too quickly during frying.

2. 2

   Set Up Breading Station

   Set up three bowls: one with flour, one with beaten egg mixed with milk, and one with breadcrumbs mixed with garlic powder, oregano, salt, and black pepper.

3. 3

   Bread the Cheese Sticks

   Coat each mozzarella stick in flour, tapping off the excess. Dip it into the egg mixture, then coat it with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere. Repeat for all sticks.

4. 4

   Heat the Oil

   In a deep frying pan, heat vegetable oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

5. 5

   Fry the Mozzarella Sticks

   Carefully place the breaded mozzarella sticks in the hot oil. Fry in batches for about 1-2 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.

6. 6

   Serve

   Serve hot with marinara sauce for dipping.
