Description
Mozarella sticks are a delicious cheesy snack that are crispy on the outside and gooey on the inside, perfect for dipping.
Ingredients
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese sticks
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Oil for frying
Instructions
- Cut mozzarella cheese sticks in half if desired.
- Set up a breading station with three bowls: one for flour, one for beaten eggs, and one for breadcrumbs mixed with garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
- Dip each cheese stick first in flour, then in the egg, and finally in the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring they are fully coated.
- Heat oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C).
- Fry the mozzarella sticks in batches until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes.
- Remove from oil and drain on paper towels.
- Serve hot with marinara sauce for dipping.
Notes
- For a healthier version, consider baking the mozzarella sticks instead of frying.
- Experiment with different seasonings in the breadcrumb mixture for added flavor.
- Make sure the oil is hot enough to prevent the cheese from leaking out while frying.
