Method
Cheese Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Cheese
Take the mozzarella cheese sticks out of the refrigerator and let them sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes. This will help prevent them from breaking during frying.
Breading Mixture

Bread the Cheese Sticks
Coat each mozzarella stick in flour, shaking off the excess. Then, dip it into the whisked eggs, allowing the excess to drip off. Finally, roll the stick in the breadcrumb mixture until fully coated. Repeat this process for all cheese sticks.
Frying
- 4
Heat the Oil
In a deep frying pan or pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can test the oil by dropping a small piece of bread into it; if it sizzles, the oil is ready.
