Fried Mozzarella Ingredients

Method

Fried Mozzarella Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Mozzarella Sticks

    Place the mozzarella sticks in the freezer for about 30 minutes to firm up.

  2. 2

    Set Up Breading Station

    In three separate shallow dishes, place the flour in the first, beaten eggs in the second, and mix breadcrumbs, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in the third.

  3. 3

    Bread the Mozzarella

    Remove the mozzarella sticks from the freezer. Dip each stick into the flour, then the egg, and finally coat it with the breadcrumb mixture. Ensure they are well coated.

  4. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  5. 5

    Fry the Mozzarella Sticks

    Carefully add the breaded mozzarella sticks to the hot oil in batches, frying for about 2-3 minutes until golden brown. Remove them with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the fried mozzarella sticks hot with marinara sauce for dipping.
