1
Prepare the Breading Station
Set up three bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with a mixture of bread crumbs, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
2
Bread the Cheese Sticks
Coat each mozzarella stick in flour, dip it in the beaten eggs, and then roll it in the breadcrumb mixture until fully coated.
3
Freeze the Cheese Sticks
Place the breaded mozzarella sticks on a baking sheet and freeze for at least 30 minutes to help them hold their shape while frying.
4
Heat the Oil
In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).
5
Fry the Cheese Sticks
Carefully add a few frozen mozzarella sticks to the hot oil and fry for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.
6
Serve
Serve the crispy mozzarella sticks hot with marinara sauce for dipping.
