Fried Mozzarella Ingredients

Method

Fried Mozzarella Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Gather all ingredients and set up a breading station with three bowls: one for flour, one for beaten eggs, and one for bread crumbs mixed with garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Bread the Mozzarella Sticks

    Dip each mozzarella stick first in the flour, coating evenly. Then dip into the beaten eggs, allowing excess to drip off. Finally, coat the sticks in the seasoned bread crumbs, pressing gently to adhere.

  3. 3

    Chill the Sticks

    Place the breaded mozzarella sticks on a baking sheet and freeze for at least 30 minutes to ensure they hold their shape when frying.

  4. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).

  5. 5

    Fry the Mozzarella Sticks

    Carefully add the frozen mozzarella sticks to the hot oil in batches, frying for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve hot with marinara sauce or your favorite dipping sauce.
