Bread the Mozzarella
Take a mozzarella stick, coat it lightly in flour, then dip it in the beaten eggs, and finally coat it evenly with the bread crumb mixture. Repeat for all mozzarella sticks.

Chill the Sticks
Place the breaded mozzarella sticks on a baking sheet and freeze for at least 30 minutes to help the coating adhere during frying.

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

Fry the Mozzarella Sticks
Carefully place a few mozzarella sticks in the hot oil and fry until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
