Homemade Mozzarella Sticks
Ingredients
12 mozzarella string cheese sticks
2 large eggs
1/4 cup milk
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups Italian-seasoned breadcrumbs
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tsp garlic powder (optional)
Oil for frying
Marinara sauce for dipping
Directions
Prep the cheese sticks:
Cut each mozzarella stick in half (optional for smaller portions). Place them in the freezer for at least 30 minutes to prevent melting during frying.
Set up the breading station:
In three separate bowls:
Bowl 1: Add all-purpose flour.
Bowl 2: Whisk together eggs and milk.
Bowl 3: Combine breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, and garlic powder.
Bread the cheese sticks:
Coat each cheese stick in flour, then dip in the egg mixture, and finally roll in the breadcrumb mixture. Repeat the egg and breadcrumb steps for a thicker coating. Place the breaded sticks on a baking sheet and freeze for another 30 minutes.
Heat the oil:
In a deep skillet or fryer, heat oil to 350°F (175°C).
Fry the mozzarella sticks:
Fry the sticks in batches for 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.
Serve:
Serve warm with marinara sauce for dipping.
