1
Prepare the Cheese
Start by freezing the mozzarella sticks for about 30 minutes to ensure they hold their shape during frying.
2
Set Up Breading Station
In three separate bowls, place the flour, beaten egg, and bread crumbs mixed with salt and pepper.
3
Bread the Cheese Sticks
Dip each frozen mozzarella stick into the flour, then the egg, and finally coat with the bread crumbs. Make sure they are fully covered.
4
Heat the Oil
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat until it shimmers.
5
Fry the Mozzarella Sticks
Add the breaded mozzarella sticks to the hot oil in batches, frying for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
6
Drain and Serve
Remove the mozzarella sticks from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve warm with marinara sauce and sprinkle with shredded parmesan cheese on top.
