Ingredients for Mozzarella Cheese Sticks

Method

Directions to Prepare Mozzarella Cheese Sticks

  1. 1

    Prepare the Cheese

    Slice the mozzarella cheese into sticks, about 1/2 inch thick and 3 inches long. If necessary, freeze the cheese sticks for about 30 minutes to firm them up.

  2. 2

    Set Up Breading Station

    In three separate bowls, place the flour, beaten eggs, and a mixture of bread crumbs, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.

  3. 3

    Bread the Cheese Sticks

    Dredge each cheese stick in the flour, shaking off any excess. Then dip it in the beaten eggs, and finally coat it in the bread crumb mixture. Repeat for all cheese sticks.

  4. 4

    Heat Oil

    In a deep skillet or frying pan, heat oil over medium heat until hot (around 350°F or 175°C).

  5. 5

    Fry the Cheese Sticks

    Carefully add the breaded cheese sticks to the hot oil in batches, frying until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the crispy mozzarella cheese sticks with marinara sauce for dipping.
