Method

Cheese Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Cheese

    Take the mozzarella cheese sticks out of the package and set aside.

Breading Mixture

  1. 2

    Set Up Breading Stations

    In three separate shallow bowls, set up your breading stations: one with flour, one with beaten eggs mixed with milk, and one with breadcrumbs mixed with garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.

  2. 3

    Bread the Cheese Sticks

    Take each mozzarella stick, first dip it in the flour to coat, then into the egg mixture, and finally into the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring it is evenly coated. Repeat until all cheese sticks are breaded.

Frying

  1. 4

    Heat the Oil

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

  2. 5

    Fry the Cheese Sticks

    Carefully add breaded mozzarella sticks to the hot oil in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown, turning occasionally.

  3. 6

    Drain and Cool

    Once golden brown, use a slotted spoon to remove the mozzarella sticks from the oil and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Let cool slightly.

Serving

  1. 7

    Serve with Marinara

    Arrange the mozzarella sticks on a serving platter and serve warm with marinara sauce on the side for dipping.
