1

Gather Your Ingredients

Get all your ingredients together so you're ready to create cheesy magic. You'll need: mozzarella cheese sticks, all-purpose flour, eggs, bread crumbs, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, vegetable oil for frying, and marinara sauce for dipping.

2

Prepare the Breading Station

Set up a breading station with three separate bowls. In the first bowl, add the flour. In the second bowl, beat the eggs. In the third bowl, combine the bread crumbs, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt.

3

Bread the Mozzarella Sticks

Take a mozzarella stick and roll it in the flour, making sure it's coated on all sides. Then, dip it in the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off. Finally, roll the stick in the seasoned bread crumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere the crumbs.

4

Freeze the Mozzarella Sticks

Place the breaded mozzarella sticks on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and pop them in the freezer for about 30 minutes. This helps the breading set and prevents the cheese from oozing out during frying.

5

Heat up the Oil

In a deep frying pan or pot, heat enough vegetable oil to fully submerge the mozzarella sticks. Use a thermometer to keep an eye on the temperature and bring it to around 365°F (185°C).

6

Fry Until Golden and Crispy

Carefully place a few mozzarella sticks into the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 3-4 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Then, remove them with a slotted spoon and transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

7

Serve and Dip

Now comes the best part – serving and dipping! Arrange your golden mozzarella sticks on a platter, accompanied by a bowl of warm marinara sauce. Take a bite, dip, and enjoy the cheesy explosion of deliciousness!
