1
Prepare the Cheese Sticks
Take the mozzarella cheese sticks and place them in the freezer for about 30 minutes. This helps them hold their shape while frying.

2
Set Up Breading Station
In three shallow bowls, place the flour in the first bowl. In the second bowl, whisk together the eggs until well combined. In the third bowl, mix the bread crumbs, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
3
Bread the Cheese Sticks
Remove the cheese sticks from the freezer. Dredge each stick in the flour, ensuring it is evenly coated. Dip it into the egg mixture, then roll it in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere the crumbs. Repeat this process for all cheese sticks.

4
Heat the Oil
In a deep frying pan or pot, heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
5
Fry the Mozzarella Sticks
Carefully place the breaded mozzarella sticks into the hot oil in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown, turning occasionally for even cooking.
6
Drain and Serve
Using a slotted spoon, remove the mozzarella sticks from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve hot with marinara sauce for dipping.
