Mozzarella Sticks

Marinara Sauce

Method

Mozzarella Sticks Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Cheese

    Freeze the mozzarella sticks for 1-2 hours to firm them up. This helps prevent them from melting too quickly during frying.

  2. 2

    Setup Breading Station

    In one bowl, place the all-purpose flour. In a second bowl, beat the eggs. In a third bowl, mix the bread crumbs, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.

  3. 3

    Bread the Sticks

    Take a mozzarella stick from the freezer, coat it in flour, dip it into the beaten eggs, and then roll it in the seasoned bread crumbs. Repeat this process for all mozzarella sticks.

  4. 4

    Double Dip (Optional)

    For a thicker coating, repeat the egg and breadcrumb coating process once more for each stick. This will give a crunchier texture.

  5. 5

    Chill Again

    Place the breaded mozzarella sticks in the freezer for an additional 30 minutes.

Frying Mozzarella Sticks

  1. 6

    Heat the Oil

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

  2. 7

    Fry the Sticks

    Carefully add a few mozzarella sticks to the hot oil. Fry for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown. Do not overcrowd the pot.

  3. 8

    Drain

    Remove the fried mozzarella sticks with a slotted spoon and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.

Marinara Sauce Preparation

  1. 9

    Sauté Garlic

    In a saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.

  2. 10

    Add Tomatoes and Seasoning

    Add the canned crushed tomatoes, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, pepper, and sugar to the saucepan. Stir to combine.

  3. 11

    Simmer Sauce

    Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened.

Serving

  1. 12

    Serve the Dish

    Serve the deep fried mozzarella sticks hot with the marinara sauce on the side for dipping.
