Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Breading Station

    Set up three shallow bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with bread crumbs mixed with garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Coat the Mozzarella Sticks

    Take a mozzarella stick, coat it in flour, dip it in the beaten eggs, and then roll it in the bread crumb mixture. Repeat for all sticks.

  3. 3

    Freeze the Sticks

    Place the coated mozzarella sticks on a baking sheet and freeze for at least 30 minutes to help them hold their shape during frying.

  4. 4

    Heat the Oil

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

  5. 5

    Fry the Mozzarella Sticks

    Carefully add a few mozzarella sticks to the hot oil and fry for 2-3 minutes until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve hot with pizza sauce for dipping.
