Method
Cheese Preparation
- 1
Cut the Cheese
Slice the mozzarella cheese into sticks approximately 1-inch wide and 4-inches long.
Breading Mixture
- 2
Prepare Breading Station
Set up three shallow bowls: one for the flour, one for the beaten eggs, and one for the breadcrumbs mixed with Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.

Bread the Cheese Sticks
Coat each cheese stick in flour, then dip it into the beaten eggs, and finally roll it in the breadcrumb mixture until fully coated. Repeat this process for all cheese sticks.
Frying
- 4
Heat the Oil
In a deep frying pan, heat vegetable oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can check the temperature using a thermometer or by dropping a breadcrumb into the oil; it should sizzle.
- 5
Fry the Cheese Sticks
Carefully add the breaded cheese sticks to the hot oil in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they turn golden brown.
- 6
Drain and Serve
Once golden brown, remove the mozzarella sticks from the oil using a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve warm with marinara sauce for dipping.
