Mozzarella Sticks
Method
Preparation Steps
- 1
Prepare the Ingredients
Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with a mixture of bread crumbs, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
- 2
Bread the Mozzarella
Take each mozzarella stick and dip it in the flour, ensuring it is fully coated. Shake off any excess flour, then dip it into the beaten eggs, and finally coat it with the bread crumb mixture. Repeat with all mozzarella sticks.
- 3
Chill the Coated Sticks
Place the breaded mozzarella sticks on a baking sheet and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to help the coating adhere.
- 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 add a few mozzarella sticks to the hot oil, frying them in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- 6
Drain and Serve
Remove the mozzarella sticks from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve hot with marinara sauce for dipping.
