For the Mozzarella Sticks

Method

Instructions

1

Prepare the Cheese

Freeze the mozzarella sticks for at least 30 minutes to firm them up, making them easier to bread and fry.

2

Set Up Breading Station

In three separate shallow bowls, place the flour in the first bowl, whisk the eggs in the second bowl, and mix the bread crumbs, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper in the third bowl.

3

Bread the Mozzarella Sticks

Remove the mozzarella sticks from the freezer. Dip each stick first in the flour, shaking off excess, then in the beaten eggs, and finally in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing to adhere. Repeat for all sticks.

4

Heat the Oil

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

5

Fry the Mozzarella Sticks

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

6

Serve

Serve hot with marinara sauce or your favorite dipping sauce.
