Method

Preparation

1

Prepare the Cheese

Cut the mozzarella cheese into sticks, each approximately 1/2 inch wide and 4 inches long.

2

Set Up Breading Station

In three separate shallow bowls, place the all-purpose flour, beaten eggs, and a mixture of breadcrumbs, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

Breading

3

Coat the Cheese

Dip each mozzarella stick into the flour, ensuring it's fully coated. Shake off any excess flour.

4

Dip in Egg

Next, dip the floured cheese stick into the beaten eggs, making sure it is completely covered.

5

Coat with Breadcrumbs

Finally, roll the egg-coated mozzarella stick in the breadcrumb mixture until it is well-coated. Repeat for all sticks.

Frying

6

Heat the Oil

In a large pot or deep fryer, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).

7

Fry the Mozzarella Sticks

Carefully add a few mozzarella sticks to the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown.

8

Drain and Cool

Using a slotted spoon, remove the fried mozzarella sticks and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Serving

9

Serve with Marinara

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