Fried Cheese Sticks Ingredients
Method
Fried Cheese Sticks Directions
- 1
- 2
Coat the Cheese Sticks
Dip each mozzarella cheese stick first in the flour, shaking off the excess. Then, dip it into the beaten eggs, and finally coat it in the breadcrumb mixture. Ensure they are fully coated.
- 3
Freeze the Coated Sticks
Place the coated cheese sticks on a baking sheet and freeze for at least 30 minutes. This helps them maintain their shape during frying.
- 4
Heat the Oil
In a large pot, 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 into it; it should sizzle and brown quickly.
- 5
Fry the Cheese Sticks
Carefully lower the frozen cheese sticks into the hot oil in batches, frying for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown. Remove them with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

Serve
Serve the fried cheese sticks hot with marinara sauce or your favorite dipping sauce.
