Cheese Sticks

Marinara Sauce

Method

Cheese Sticks Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare Cheese Sticks

    Cut the mozzarella cheese into sticks approximately 1/2 inch thick. Place them on a baking sheet and freeze for 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Set Up Breading Station

    In three separate shallow bowls, place the flour in the first, beaten eggs in the second, and breadcrumbs mixed with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder in the third.

  3. 3

    Bread the Cheese Sticks

    Remove the cheese sticks from the freezer. Dredge each stick in flour, dip into the beaten eggs, then coat with the breadcrumb mixture. Place them back on the baking sheet.

  4. 4

    Fry the Cheese Sticks

    In a deep skillet or pot, heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Fry the cheese sticks in batches until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes. Remove and place on a paper towel-lined plate.

Marinara Sauce Preparation

  1. 5

    Sauté Garlic

    In a saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic cloves and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

  2. 6

    Combine Ingredients

    Add the crushed tomatoes, dried oregano, salt, sugar, and black pepper to the saucepan. Stir to combine.

  3. 7

    Simmer Sauce

    Bring the sauce to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Cook for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally. If desired, stir in fresh basil before serving.
