1
Prepare the Cheese
Cut the mozzarella cheese into sticks that are approximately 1/2 inch wide and 4 inches long. Set aside.
2
Set Up Breading Station
In three separate bowls, place the flour in the first bowl, beat the eggs in the second bowl, and mix the breadcrumbs with Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper in the third bowl.

3
Bread the Cheese Sticks
Take a mozzarella stick, coat it in flour, then dip it into the beaten eggs, and finally roll it in the seasoned breadcrumbs until fully coated. Repeat this process for all cheese sticks.

4
Heat the Oil
In a deep skillet or frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
5
Fry the Cheese Sticks
Carefully place the breaded cheese sticks in the hot oil, a few at a time, without overcrowding the pan. Fry for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
6
Drain and Serve
Using a slotted spoon, remove the fried cheese sticks from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve hot with marinara sauce for dipping.
