Method

How to Make Crispy Homemade Mozzarella Sticks
  1. Gather three shallow bowls. In the first bowl, place the all-purpose flour. In the second, beat the eggs until silky. In the third bowl, mix the breadcrumbs with garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, salt, and pepper for a flavor hit.
  2. Take a mozzarella stick and lightly coat it in the flour, making sure to shake off any excess.
  3. Immerse the floured mozzarella stick into the beaten eggs, ensuring it is fully coated.
  4. Cover the stick in the breadcrumb mixture until evenly coated.
  5. Arrange the breaded mozzarella sticks on a baking sheet and freeze for at least 30 minutes.
  6. In a deep skillet, heat about 2 inches of oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
  7. Carefully add the frozen mozzarella sticks to the hot oil in batches. Fry for about 1-2 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
  8. Remove the sticks from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any extra oil.
  9. Enjoy your crispy mozzarella sticks while they’re hot! Serve them with marinara sauce or your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

For extra crunch, consider using panko breadcrumbs. Maintain the oil temperature at 350°F (175°C) to avoid soggy sticks.
