1
Prepare the Ingredients
Gather all the ingredients and set up your breading station. In three shallow bowls, place flour in the first bowl, beaten eggs in the second bowl, and breadcrumbs mixed with garlic powder, oregano, salt, and black pepper in the third bowl.

2
Coat the Cheese Sticks
Take each mozzarella stick and roll it in the flour until fully coated. Then dip it into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off. Finally, roll the stick in the seasoned breadcrumbs, pressing gently to ensure the breadcrumbs adhere. Repeat this process for all mozzarella sticks.

3
Heat the Oil
In a deep skillet or pot, heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can test the oil by dropping a small piece of bread into it; if it sizzles, it’s ready.
4
Fry the Cheese Sticks
Carefully add the breaded mozzarella sticks to the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown, turning occasionally for even cooking.
5
Drain and Serve
Once golden brown, use a slotted spoon to remove the cheese sticks from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve hot with marinara sauce for dipping.
