Coat the Cheese Sticks
Dip each mozzarella stick first in the flour, shaking off the excess, then in the egg, and finally in the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated. Place the coated sticks on a baking sheet.

Chill the Coated Sticks
Refrigerate the coated mozzarella sticks for at least 30 minutes to help the coating adhere better during frying.

Heat the Oil
In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).

Fry the Mozzarella Sticks
Carefully add a few mozzarella sticks to the hot oil, frying them in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.

Drain and Serve
Remove the fried mozzarella sticks and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve hot with marinara sauce for dipping.
