Mozzarella Sticks
Method
Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Breading Stations
Set up three shallow bowls. In the first bowl, place the flour. In the second bowl, beat the eggs. In the third bowl, mix breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
- 2
Coat the Mozzarella Sticks
Take each mozzarella stick and coat it in flour, tapping off the excess. Dip it into the beaten eggs, then coat it in the breadcrumb mixture. Repeat for all mozzarella sticks.
- 3
Freeze the Coated Sticks
Place the coated mozzarella sticks on a baking sheet and freeze for at least 30 minutes. This helps prevent the cheese from melting too quickly while frying.
- 4
Heat the Oil
In a deep fryer or large, heavy pot, heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
- 5
Fry the Mozzarella Sticks
Carefully add a few mozzarella sticks to the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot. Fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.
- 6
Serve
Serve hot with marinara sauce or Cajun dip on the side for dipping.
