1
Prepare the Ingredients
Gather all ingredients. Cut mozzarella sticks in half if you prefer shorter sticks.
2
Set Up the Breading Station
In three separate bowls, place the flour in the first bowl, beat the eggs in the second bowl, and combine the breadcrumbs, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder in the third bowl.

3
Bread the Mozzarella Sticks
Start by dipping each mozzarella stick into the flour, ensuring it is fully coated. Next, dip it into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off. Finally, roll the stick in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to ensure an even coating. Repeat for all mozzarella sticks.
4
Chill the Coated Sticks
Place the breaded mozzarella sticks on a baking sheet and freeze for at least 30 minutes to an hour. This helps them hold their shape while frying.
5
Heat the Oil
In a deep skillet or fryer, 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 in; if it sizzles, the oil is ready.
6
Fry the Mozzarella Sticks
Carefully add the frozen mozzarella sticks to the hot oil, frying them in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for about 2-3 minutes, or until they are golden brown. Use a slotted spoon to remove them from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

7
Serve the Mozzarella Sticks
Serve the mozzarella sticks hot with marinara sauce or your favorite dipping sauce.
