Bread the Mozzarella Sticks
Dip each mozzarella stick first in flour, shaking off the excess. Then dip in the beaten eggs, and finally coat with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.

Chill the Sticks
Place the breaded mozzarella sticks on a baking sheet and freeze for at least 30 minutes to help them hold their shape while frying.

Heat the Oil
In a large skillet or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot (about 350°F or 175°C).

Fry the Mozzarella Sticks
