Method
Cheese Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Cheese
Take the mozzarella cheese sticks and place them in the freezer for 30 minutes to firm up. This will help prevent the cheese from melting too quickly during frying.
Breading Mixture
- 2
Prepare the Breading Stations
In a shallow bowl, add the all-purpose flour. In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined. In a third bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.

Frying
- 4
Heat the Oil
In a deep frying pan or pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can test the temperature by dropping a small piece of bread into the oil; if it bubbles and browns, the oil is ready.

Fry the Cheese Sticks
Carefully place the breaded mozzarella sticks into the hot oil, a few at a time, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy. Remove them with a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Dipping Sauce
- 6
Serve with Marinara Sauce
Warm the marinara sauce in a small saucepan over low heat. Serve the crispy mozzarella sticks hot with the marinara sauce on the side for dipping.
