Method
Directions
Prepare the Cheese
Cut each mozzarella stick in half if desired, to make them easier for kids to handle.
Coat the Cheese Sticks
Dredge each mozzarella stick in flour, shaking off excess. Dip into the beaten eggs, then coat with the bread crumb mixture, pressing gently to ensure the crumbs stick.
Chill the Coated Sticks
Place the coated mozzarella sticks on a baking sheet and freeze for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
Heat the Oil
In a large pot or deep fryer, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).
Fry the Sticks
Carefully add mozzarella sticks to the hot oil in batches, frying until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
Serve
Serve hot with marinara sauce for dipping.
