Ingredients for Mozzarella Sticks
Method
Preparation Steps
- 1
Prepare the Breading Station
Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls. In the first bowl, add the all-purpose flour. In the second bowl, beat the eggs. In the third bowl, combine the bread crumbs, garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.

Bread the Mozzarella Sticks
Take each mozzarella stick and first coat it in the flour, shaking off any excess. Then dip it into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess egg to drip off. Finally, roll it in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere. Repeat for all mozzarella sticks.

Chill the Breaded Sticks
Place the breaded mozzarella sticks on a baking sheet and freeze for about 30 minutes. This helps them hold their shape while frying.

Fry the Mozzarella Sticks
Carefully add a few mozzarella sticks to the hot oil, frying them in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
