Cheese

Dipping Sauce

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Cheese

    Place the mozzarella cheese sticks in the freezer for about 30 minutes to firm them up. This helps prevent the cheese from melting too quickly during frying.

Breading

  1. 2

    Set up the Breading Station

    In three separate bowls, place the flour, beaten eggs, and a mixture of breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.

  2. 3

    Bread the Cheese Sticks

    Take a frozen mozzarella stick and coat it in flour, shaking off excess. Then, dip it in the beaten eggs, and finally, coat it in the breadcrumb mixture. Press the breadcrumbs onto the cheese stick to ensure it's well-coated. Repeat with all cheese sticks.

Frying

  1. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep skillet or pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches about 350°F (175°C). You can test the oil by dropping in a small piece of bread; if it sizzles, it's ready.

  2. 5

    Fry the Cheese Sticks

    Carefully add a few breaded cheese sticks to the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown, flipping halfway through. Use a slotted spoon to remove the sticks and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Serving

  1. 6

    Serve with Marinara Sauce

    Arrange the fried mozzarella sticks on a serving plate and serve warm with marinara sauce for dipping.
