Method

Cheese Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Cheese

    Take the mozzarella sticks out of the packaging and set them aside. For best results, freeze them for about 30 minutes to firm up before breading.

Breading Mixture

  1. 2

    Set Up the Breading Station

    In three separate shallow bowls, prepare the breading station: one with flour, one with beaten eggs mixed with milk, and one with breadcrumbs combined with garlic powder, oregano, salt, and black pepper.

  2. 3

    Bread the Cheese Sticks

    Coat each mozzarella stick first in the flour, shaking off any excess. Then dip it into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off, and finally roll it in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere. Repeat for all sticks.

Frying

  1. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a large, deep skillet or pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can test the oil by dropping in a breadcrumb; it should sizzle immediately.

  2. 5

    Fry the Mozzarella Sticks

    Carefully place the breaded mozzarella sticks into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove them and drain on paper towels.

Serving

  1. 6

    Serve

    Arrange the fried mozzarella sticks on a plate and serve hot with marinara sauce for dipping.
