1. 1

   Prepare the Cheese

   Cut the mozzarella cheese into sticks, about 1 inch thick.

   Set Up Breading Station

   In one bowl, place flour mixed with salt and pepper. In a second bowl, beat the eggs. In the third bowl, place the breadcrumbs.

   Bread the Cheese

   Dredge each mozzarella stick in the flour, shaking off the excess. Then dip in the beaten eggs, and finally coat with breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.

   In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until hot, about 350°F (175°C).

5. 5

   Fry the Cheese

   Carefully add the breaded mozzarella sticks to the hot oil, frying in batches if necessary. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown.

6. 6

   Drain and Serve

   Remove the fried cheese from the skillet and drain on paper towels. Serve hot with marinara sauce for dipping.
