Fried Mozzarella Sticks
Method
Preparation Steps
- 1
Prepare the Cheese
Freeze the mozzarella sticks for about 30 minutes to firm them up, which helps prevent them from melting too quickly while frying.

Set Up Breading Station
In three separate shallow dishes, place the flour in the first dish, beat the eggs in the second dish, and mix the breadcrumbs, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper in the third dish.
- 3
Coat the Cheese Sticks
Take a frozen mozzarella stick, dip it in the flour, ensuring it's coated evenly. Then dip it into the beaten eggs, followed by the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere. Repeat for all mozzarella sticks.
