Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Cheese

    Freeze the mozzarella sticks for about 30 minutes until firm.

  2. 2

    Set Up Breading Station

    In one bowl, place flour. In a second bowl, whisk the eggs. In a third bowl, mix breadcrumbs, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.

  3. 3

    Bread the Cheese

    Dip each frozen mozzarella stick first in flour, then in the egg, and finally in the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring they are fully coated.

  4. 4

    Heat the Oil

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

  5. 5

    Fry the Sticks

    Carefully add the breaded mozzarella sticks to the hot oil in batches. Fry for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown, turning occasionally.

  6. 6

    Drain and Serve

    Remove the mozzarella sticks and place them on a paper towel to drain excess oil. Serve hot with marinara sauce.
