Ingredients for Mozzarella Sticks

Ingredients for Marinara Sauce

Method

Directions for Mozzarella Sticks

  1. 1

    Prepare the Cheese Sticks

    Take the mozzarella cheese sticks and freeze them for at least 1 hour. This will help them hold their shape while frying.

  2. 2

    Set Up Dredging Station

    In three separate shallow bowls, place the all-purpose flour in one, beaten eggs in another, and a mixture of breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper in the last.

  3. 3

    Coat the Cheese Sticks

    Remove cheese sticks from the freezer. One at a time, dip each cheese stick into the flour, shaking off excess, then into the beaten eggs, and finally into the breadcrumb mixture. Make sure they are evenly coated. For extra crunch, repeat the egg and breadcrumb steps.

  4. 4

    Fry the Cheese Sticks

    In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Fry the cheese sticks in batches, about 2-3 minutes, until golden brown. Remove and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.

Directions for Marinara Sauce

  1. 5

    Cook the Marinara Sauce

    In a saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in crushed tomatoes, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a simmer.

  2. 6

    Simmer the Sauce

    Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add fresh basil at the end, just before serving.
