1
Prepare the Ingredients
Gather all the ingredients and set up a breading station with three bowls: one for flour, one for beaten eggs, and one for breadcrumbs mixed with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
2
Bread the Mozzarella Sticks
Dip each mozzarella stick into the flour, shaking off the excess. Then, dip it into the beaten eggs, and finally coat it with the breadcrumb mixture. Place the breaded sticks on a plate.
3
Heat the Oil
In a deep frying pan or pot, heat the oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can check the temperature with a thermometer or by dropping a breadcrumb into the oil; it should sizzle.
4
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 and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
5
Serve
Serve the crispy mozzarella sticks hot with marinara sauce for dipping.
