1
Prepare the Mozzarella
Cut the mozzarella cheese into sticks, approximately 1 inch thick.
2
Set Up Breading Station
In three separate bowls, place the flour mixed with salt and pepper, beaten eggs, and breadcrumbs.
3
Bread the Cheese
Dredge each mozzarella stick in the flour, shaking off excess. Dip in the beaten eggs, then coat with breadcrumbs, pressing to adhere.
4
Chill the Mozzarella
Place the breaded mozzarella sticks on a baking sheet and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to help them set.
5
Fry the Mozzarella
In a deep skillet or fryer, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Fry the mozzarella sticks in batches until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.
6
Drain and Serve
Remove the fried mozzarella from the oil and drain on paper towels. Serve hot with signature marinara sauce.
