Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Breading Station

    Set up three shallow bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs mixed with Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Bread the Mozzarella Sticks

    Dip each mozzarella stick first in the flour, then in the beaten eggs, and finally coat it with the breadcrumb mixture. Ensure each stick is evenly coated.

  3. 3

    Chill the Cheese Sticks

    Place the breaded mozzarella sticks on a baking sheet and freeze them for at least 30 minutes. This step helps them hold their shape while frying.

  4. 4

    Heat the Oil

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

  5. 5

    Fry the Mozzarella Sticks

    Carefully add the frozen mozzarella sticks to the hot oil in batches. Fry them for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown. Use a slotted spoon to remove them and drain on paper towels.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the hot mozzarella sticks with marinara sauce on the side for dipping.
