1
Prepare the Marinara Sauce
In a saucepan, simmer tomatoes, garlic, onion, and herbs to create a flavorful marinara sauce.
2
Set up Breading Station
In one bowl, place the flour. In a second bowl, beat together eggs and milk. In a third bowl, mix bread crumbs with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
3
Bread the Cheese Sticks
Coat each mozzarella stick in flour, dip it in the egg mixture, and then roll it in the bread crumbs to ensure it is fully coated.
4
Freeze the Sticks
Place the breaded mozzarella sticks in the freezer for 30 minutes to help them hold their shape while frying.
5
Heat the Oil
In a deep skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
6
Fry the Mozzarella Sticks
Carefully place the frozen mozzarella sticks into the hot oil and fry for about 2-3 minutes until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.
7
Serve
Serve the fried mozzarella sticks hot with a side of homemade marinara sauce.
