Fried Cheese Sticks Recipe

Fried Cheese Sticks

1. 1

   Prepare the Coating

   Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls. In the first bowl, place the flour. In the second bowl, beat the eggs. In the third bowl, mix the bread crumbs with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.

2. 2

   Bread the Cheese Sticks

   Dip each mozzarella cheese stick first in the flour, then in the beaten eggs, and finally coat it with the seasoned bread crumbs. Ensure each stick is well-coated and place them on a plate.

3. 3

   Chill the Coated Sticks

   Once all cheese sticks are coated, place them in the freezer for at least 30 minutes. This will help the coating adhere better during frying.

4. 4

   Heat the Oil

   In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

5. 5

   Fry the Cheese Sticks

   Carefully place a few cheese sticks into the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown. Remove them with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

6. 6

   Serve

   Serve the fried cheese sticks hot with marinara sauce or your favorite dipping sauce.
