Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Cheese Sticks

    Take the mozzarella cheese sticks and place them in the freezer for at least 30 minutes. This helps them hold their shape while frying.

  2. 2

    Set Up Breading Station

    In three separate shallow dishes, place the all-purpose flour in the first dish, beat the eggs in the second dish, and mix the breadcrumbs, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning in the third dish.

Breading and Frying

  1. 3

    Bread the Cheese Sticks

    Remove the cheese sticks from the freezer. Dip each stick first into the flour, ensuring it is fully coated. Next, dip it into the beaten eggs, allowing excess to drip off, and finally coat it in the breadcrumb mixture. Repeat until all cheese sticks are breaded.

  2. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep frying pan or pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer for accuracy.

  3. 5

    Fry the Mozzarella Sticks

    Carefully place a few breaded cheese sticks into the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for about 2-3 minutes or until they are golden brown. Use a slotted spoon to remove them and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Serving

  1. 6

    Serve

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