Mozzarella Stick Ingredients
Method
Preparation Instructions
Prepare the Cheese Sticks
Take the mozzarella cheese sticks out of the refrigerator and set aside.
Bread the Cheese Sticks
Coat each mozzarella stick in flour, then dip it in the beaten eggs, and finally roll it in the bread crumb mixture until fully coated. Repeat for all cheese sticks.
Chill the Breaded Sticks
Place the breaded mozzarella sticks on a baking sheet and freeze them for at least 30 minutes to ensure they hold their shape during frying.
Heat the Oil
In a large frying pan, heat vegetable oil over medium heat until hot. You can test the oil by dropping in a small piece of bread; it should sizzle.
Fry the Mozzarella Sticks
Carefully add the frozen mozzarella sticks to the hot oil, frying them in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.
Drain and Serve
Remove the sticks from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve hot with marinara sauce for dipping.
