Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz fresh mozzarella cheese (cut into sticks)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs (beaten)
  • 1 cup Italian-seasoned breadcrumbs
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Marinara sauce for dipping

Instructions

  1. Cut mozzarella into sticks about 1 inch thick and arrange on a parchment-lined tray.
  2. Set up a breading station with flour seasoned with salt and pepper in one bowl, beaten eggs in another, and breadcrumbs in a third.
  3. Coat each mozzarella stick in flour, dip into eggs, and roll in breadcrumbs until fully covered.
  4. Freeze the breaded sticks for at least 30 minutes to prevent cheese from oozing out while frying.
  5. Heat oil in a deep pan to 350°F and fry each stick until golden brown (about 1-2 minutes per side).
  6. Remove from oil, drain on paper towels, and serve hot with marinara sauce.
