1
Prepare the Cheese
Freeze the mozzarella sticks for about 1 hour until firm.
2
Set up Dredging Stations
In three separate shallow bowls, place flour, beaten eggs, and a mixture of breadcrumbs with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
3
Coat the Cheese Sticks
Take each frozen mozzarella stick and dip it first into the flour, then into the eggs, and finally into the breadcrumb mixture. Ensure they are well coated.
4
Heat the Oil
In a large pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
5
Fry the Mozzarella Sticks
Carefully add the coated mozzarella sticks to the hot oil, frying in batches until golden brown (about 2-3 minutes per batch).
6
Drain and Serve
Remove the fried mozzarella sticks and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve hot with spicy tomato sauce.
