Mozzarella Sticks Recipe

Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the cheese sticks

   Freeze the mozzarella sticks for at least 30 minutes to ensure they hold their shape during frying.

2. 2

   Set up the breading station

   In three separate bowls, place flour in the first, beaten eggs in the second, and a mixture of breadcrumbs, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper in the third.

3. 3

   Bread the cheese sticks

   Take a mozzarella stick, coat it in flour, then dip it in the beaten eggs, and finally roll it in the breadcrumb mixture. Repeat for all cheese sticks.

4. 4

   Heat the oil

   In a deep frying pan, heat oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

5. 5

   Fry the cheese sticks

   Carefully place the breaded mozzarella sticks in the hot oil, a few at a time, and fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.

6. 6

   Serve

   Serve hot with marinara sauce on the side for dipping.
