Delicious homemade mozzarella sticks that are crispy on the outside and gooey on the inside, perfect as an appetizer or snack.
Ingredients
Scale
- 12 ounces mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Oil for frying
Instructions
- Cut the mozzarella cheese into sticks, aiming for a perfect size to hold in your hand.
- Set up a breading station with three bowls: flour in the first, beaten eggs in the second, and a mix of breadcrumbs with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper in the third.
- Dunk each cheese stick in flour, ensuring it’s properly coated, then dip it into the eggs, and finally coat it generously with the breadcrumb mixture.
- Once all the sticks are breaded, place them on a baking sheet and freeze for at least 30 minutes.
- Heat the oil in a deep fryer or large pan to 350°F (175°C).
- Fry the mozzarella sticks until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes.
- Drain the fried sticks on paper towels and serve hot with marinara sauce for dipping.
