Method

For the Mozzarella Sticks

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Gather all ingredients and set up a breading station with three bowls: one for flour, one for beaten eggs, and one for bread crumbs mixed with garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

  2. 2

    Bread the Cheese Sticks

    Coat each mozzarella stick in flour, shaking off any excess. Dip it into the beaten eggs, then roll it in the bread crumb mixture until fully coated. Repeat for all cheese sticks.

  3. 3

    Freeze the Cheese Sticks

    Place the breaded mozzarella sticks on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and freeze for at least 30 minutes until firm.

  4. 4

    Fry the Cheese Sticks

    In a deep skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Fry the mozzarella sticks in batches for 2-3 minutes until golden brown. Remove and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.

For the Marinara Sauce

  1. 5

    Sauté the Garlic

    In a saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

  2. 6

    Prepare the Sauce

    Add the canned crushed tomatoes, dried oregano, salt, black pepper, and sugar to the saucepan. Stir well and bring to a simmer.

  3. 7

    Finish the Sauce

    Let the sauce simmer for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Just before serving, stir in chopped fresh basil.
