1
Prepare the Cheese Sticks
Freeze mozzarella sticks for about 30 minutes to firm them up.
2
Set Up Breading Station
In three separate shallow bowls, place flour in one, beaten eggs in another, and breadcrumbs mixed with salt and pepper in the last.
3
Bread the Cheese Sticks
Remove cheese sticks from the freezer. Dip each stick first in the flour, then in the egg, and finally in the breadcrumbs, pressing the breadcrumbs onto the cheese to ensure they stick.
4
Heat Oil
In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
5
Fry the Cheese Sticks
Carefully place the breaded mozzarella sticks in the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes, then remove and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.
6
Serve
Serve hot with marinara sauce for dipping.
