Mozzarella Sticks Recipe

Ingredients:

Directions:

Cut the mozzarella cheese sticks in half to create 24 shorter sticks. Place them in the freezer for about 10-15 minutes to firm up.
In three separate shallow bowls, prepare your coating stations:

Bowl 1: All-purpose flour.
Bowl 2: Whisked eggs.
Bowl 3: Combine breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, dried oregano, and dried basil. Mix well.

Remove the mozzarella sticks from the freezer.
Take one mozzarella stick and dip it into the flour, coating it evenly. Shake off any excess flour.
Dip the floured stick into the beaten eggs, ensuring it’s coated completely.
Finally, roll the stick in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to make sure the breadcrumbs adhere well. Place the coated stick on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Repeat the process with the remaining mozzarella sticks.
Once all the mozzarella sticks are coated, heat vegetable oil in a deep frying pan or pot to 350°F (175°C).
Carefully place a few mozzarella sticks into the hot oil using tongs. Fry for about 1-2 minutes or until they turn golden brown. Be sure not to overcrowd the pan; fry in batches if needed.
Remove the fried mozzarella sticks using a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve the mozzarella sticks hot with marinara sauce for dipping.
Enjoy your homemade Mozzarella Sticks as a delicious appetizer or snack!

Note: Be cautious when frying as the cheese inside the sticks can get very hot.
