Ingredients
  

For the Mozzarella Sticks
  • 12 oz mozzarella cheese sticks cut into 3-inch pieces
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs beaten
  • 2 cups bread crumbs Italian seasoned

Method
 

Prepare the Cheese Sticks
  1. Set up a breading station with three bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with bread crumbs mixed with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
  2. Dip each mozzarella stick in flour, then in the egg, and finally coat with bread crumbs. Place on a baking sheet.
  3. Freeze the breaded mozzarella sticks for at least 15 minutes to prevent melting during frying.

  2. Fry the mozzarella sticks in batches for about 1-2 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
  3. Remove with tongs and drain on paper towels.
