Mozzarella Sticks Recipe

Instructions for Mozzarella Sticks

1. 1

   Prepare the Breading Stations

   Set up three shallow bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs mixed with garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

2. 2

   Bread the Mozzarella Sticks

   Take each mozzarella stick, dip it in the flour to coat, then dip it in the egg, and finally coat it with the breadcrumb mixture. Repeat for all sticks.

3. 3

   Chill the Breaded Sticks

   Place the breaded mozzarella sticks on a baking sheet and freeze for at least 30 minutes to help them hold their shape during frying.

4. 4

   Heat the Oil

   In a deep pot or fryer, heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

5. 5

   Fry the Mozzarella Sticks

   Carefully add the frozen mozzarella sticks to the hot oil, frying in batches until they are golden brown, about 2-3 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove them and drain on paper towels.

6. 6

   Serve

   Serve the hot mozzarella sticks with marinara sauce for dipping.
