Coat the Mozzarella Sticks
Take each mozzarella stick and first coat it in flour, shaking off the excess. Then, dip it into the beaten eggs, ensuring it's fully covered. Finally, roll it in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere. Repeat for all mozzarella sticks.
Frying

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

Fry the Mozzarella Sticks
Carefully lower the breaded mozzarella sticks into the hot oil in batches, avoiding overcrowding. Fry them for about 2-3 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove them and drain on paper towels.
