Prepare the Coating
In three separate shallow bowls, place flour in the first bowl, beaten eggs in the second bowl, and a mixture of breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper in the third bowl.

Coat the Cheese Sticks
Dip each mozzarella stick in flour, shaking off excess. Then dip in the beaten eggs, and finally coat with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.

Freeze the Coated Sticks
Place the coated mozzarella sticks on a baking sheet and freeze for at least 30 minutes to help them hold their shape while frying.
