Method

For the Mozzarella Sticks

  1. 1

    Prepare the Cheese Sticks

    Take the mozzarella cheese sticks out of the package and set them aside.

  2. 2

    Set Up Breading Station

    In three separate shallow bowls, place the flour in the first bowl, beaten eggs in the second bowl, and the breadcrumbs mixed with Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper in the third bowl.

  3. 3

    Bread the Cheese Sticks

    Coat each mozzarella stick in the flour, dip into the beaten eggs, and finally coat with the breadcrumb mixture. Ensure each stick is evenly coated.

  4. 4

    Chill the Sticks

    Place the breaded mozzarella sticks on a baking sheet and freeze for at least 30 minutes to firm up.

  5. 5

    Fry the Sticks

    In a deep skillet or pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat until hot. Fry the mozzarella sticks in batches for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.

For the Marinara Sauce

  1. 6

    Make the Marinara Sauce

    In a saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

  2. 7

    Add Tomatoes and Seasoning

    Stir in the crushed tomatoes, dried basil, salt, and sugar. Bring the sauce to a simmer and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  3. 8

    Serve

    Remove from heat and serve warm alongside the mozzarella sticks.
