Cheese Stick Ingredients

Method

Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Breading Station

    Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls. In the first bowl, place the flour. In the second bowl, beat the eggs. In the third bowl, combine breadcrumbs, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.

  2. 2

    Coat the Cheese Sticks

    Take each mozzarella cheese stick and coat it in flour, shaking off any excess. Dip it into the beaten eggs, then roll it in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing lightly to adhere.

  3. 3

    Chill the Coated Cheese Sticks

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

  4. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  5. 5

    Fry the Cheese Sticks

    Carefully add the frozen cheese sticks to the hot oil in batches, frying for about 2-3 minutes or until they are golden brown. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve hot with marinara sauce or your favorite dipping sauce.
