Mozzarella Sticks
Method
Cooking Instructions
- 1
- 2
Coat the Cheese Sticks
Dip each mozzarella stick first into the flour, then into the beaten eggs, and finally coat it with the breadcrumb mixture. Ensure they are well-coated and then place them on a baking sheet. Repeat this for all cheese sticks.
- 3
Chill the Coated Sticks
Place the coated mozzarella sticks in the freezer for at least 30 minutes to firm up. This helps prevent them from melting too quickly during frying.
- 4
Heat the Oil
In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).
- 5
Fry the Sticks
Carefully add a few mozzarella sticks to the hot oil and fry them for about 2-3 minutes or until they are golden brown. Do not overcrowd the pot.
- 6
Drain and Serve
Once fried, remove the mozzarella sticks from the oil and place them on a paper towel to drain excess oil. Serve hot with marinara sauce for dipping.
