1
Set Up Breading Station
In three separate shallow bowls, place the flour in the first bowl, whisk the eggs in the second bowl, and combine breadcrumbs with Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper in the third bowl.
2
Bread the Mozzarella Sticks
Take each mozzarella stick and coat it in flour, dip it in the whisked eggs, and then roll it in the seasoned breadcrumbs until fully coated. Repeat for all mozzarella sticks.
3
Chill the Sticks
Place the breaded mozzarella sticks on a baking sheet and freeze for at least 30 minutes to firm them up.
4
Heat the Oil
In a deep frying pan, heat vegetable oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
5
Fry the Mozzarella Sticks
Carefully add a few mozzarella sticks to the hot oil and fry for 2-3 minutes until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels. Repeat with the remaining sticks.
6
Serve
Serve hot with marinara sauce for dipping.
