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

Instructions
- Cut mozzarella into sticks about 1 inch thick and arrange on a parchment-lined tray.
- Set up a breading station with flour seasoned with salt and pepper in one bowl, beaten eggs in another, and breadcrumbs in a third.
- Coat each mozzarella stick in flour, dip into eggs, and roll in breadcrumbs until fully covered.
- Freeze the breaded sticks for at least 30 minutes to prevent cheese from oozing out while frying.

- Remove from oil, drain on paper towels, and serve hot with marinara sauce.
