Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Cheese

    Freeze the mozzarella sticks for at least 1 hour to firm them up.

  2. 2

    Set Up Breading Stations

    Set up three shallow bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with a mixture of breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.

  3. 3

    Bread the Cheese Sticks

    Remove the mozzarella sticks from the freezer. Dredge each stick in flour, dip into the beaten eggs, and then coat with the breadcrumb mixture. Press firmly to ensure the breadcrumbs adhere.

  4. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep pot or fryer, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).

  5. 5

    Fry the Mozzarella Sticks

    Carefully add the breaded mozzarella sticks to the hot oil in batches. Fry for about 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve hot with marinara sauce or your favorite dipping sauce.
