1
Prepare the Cheese Sticks
Start by freezing the mozzarella cheese sticks for about 30 minutes. This will help them hold their shape during frying.
2
Set Up Breading Station
In three separate shallow bowls, place the flour in the first bowl, beat the eggs in the second bowl, and combine the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, salt, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning in the third bowl.

3
Coat the Cheese Sticks
Take a frozen mozzarella stick and coat it in the flour, ensuring it’s fully covered. Then, dip it into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off. Finally, coat it in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere. Repeat for all cheese sticks.

4
Heat the Oil
In a large pot or deep fryer, heat oil over medium-high heat to 350°F (175°C).
5
Fry the Mozzarella Sticks
Carefully place the breaded mozzarella sticks in the hot oil, cooking in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown, turning occasionally.
6
Drain and Cool
Once golden brown, use a slotted spoon to remove the sticks from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
