Take note
Be careful not to burn yourself while cooking or handling hot oil. Also, make sure to keep an eye on the mozzarella sticks while frying to avoid overcooking.

1

Prepare the breading

In a shallow bowl, mix together breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, and your choice of seasonings. The options are endless! Try adding Italian seasoning, garlic powder, or even some chili flakes if you like it spicy.

2

Coat the mozzarella sticks

Take each mozzarella stick and dip it into beaten egg, making sure to coat it completely. Then, roll the stick in the seasoned breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to ensure the breadcrumbs stick.

3

Freeze the coated sticks

Place the coated mozzarella sticks on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and freeze them for about 30 minutes. This step will help the breading adhere better and prevent the cheese from melting too quickly when frying.

4

Heat the oil

In a deep frying pan or pot, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. You'll need enough oil to completely submerge the mozzarella sticks. To check if the oil is hot enough, drop a small piece of bread into the oil. If it sizzles and turns golden brown within a few seconds, the oil is ready.

5

Fry the mozzarella sticks

Carefully lower a few mozzarella sticks into the hot oil using tongs or a slotted spoon. Avoid overcrowding the pan. Fry them for about 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Repeat this step until all the sticks are fried.

6

Serve and enjoy!

Transfer the fried mozzarella sticks to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve them warm with your favorite dipping sauce. Whether it's marinara, ranch, or a zesty salsa, the choice is yours! Get ready to dazzle your taste buds with these jazzed-up mozzarella sticks.
