1
Cut the Cheese
Slice the provolone cheese into sticks, approximately 1/2 inch thick and 3 inches long.
2
Prepare Breading Station
Set up three shallow bowls: one with flour mixed with salt and black pepper, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs.

3
Bread the Cheese Sticks
Take each cheese stick and first coat it in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess, then dip it into the beaten eggs, and finally roll it in the breadcrumbs until completely coated.
4
Heat the Oil
In a large frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot (about 350°F or 175°C).
5
Fry the Cheese Sticks
Carefully place the breaded cheese sticks in the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
6
Drain and Serve
Remove the cheese sticks from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve warm with marinara sauce or your favorite dipping sauce.
