Cheese and Coating

Frying

Dipping Sauce

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Cheese

    Unwrap the mozzarella cheese sticks and set aside.

  2. 2

    Set Up Breading Station

    In three separate bowls, place the flour, beaten eggs, and breadcrumbs mixed with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.

Breading

  1. 3

    Bread the Cheese Sticks

    Coat each mozzarella stick first in flour, then dip it into the beaten eggs, and finally roll it in the breadcrumb mixture. Ensure each stick is evenly coated.

  2. 4

    Double Dip for Extra Crunch

    For extra crunch, repeat the egg and breadcrumb coating process one more time.

Frying

  1. 5

    Heat the Oil

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

  2. 6

    Fry the Mozzarella Sticks

    Carefully place the breaded mozzarella sticks in the hot oil, frying them in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown.

  3. 7

    Drain Excess Oil

    Use a slotted spoon to remove the mozzarella sticks from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

Serving

  1. 8

    Serve with Dipping Sauces

    Arrange the fried mozzarella sticks on a platter and serve hot with marinara sauce and ranch dressing on the side for dipping.
