Method

Cheese Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Cheese

    Take the mozzarella cheese sticks out of the packaging and set them aside on a plate.

Breading Mixture

  1. 2

    Set Up Breading Station

    In three separate bowls, place the flour in the first bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk in the second bowl, and combine the bread crumbs, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and black pepper in the third bowl.

  2. 3

    Coat the Cheese Sticks

    Take one mozzarella stick and dip it in the flour, ensuring it's fully coated. Then, dip it into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off. Finally, coat it thoroughly with the breadcrumb mixture. Repeat this process for all mozzarella sticks.

Frying

  1. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a large, deep skillet or pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  2. 5

    Fry the Mozzarella Sticks

    Carefully place a few breaded mozzarella sticks into the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 2-3 minutes or until they turn golden brown. Use a slotted spoon to remove them and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Repeat the process with the remaining cheese sticks.

Dipping Sauce

  1. 6

    Serve

    Pour the marinara sauce into a small bowl for dipping. Serve the hot mozzarella sticks with the marinara sauce on the side.
