Instructions
Cut the mozzarella
Cut the block of mozzarella into 1.5 cm thick sticks, about 8 cm long.
Prepare the breading station
Set up three shallow bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with bread crumbs.
Coat the mozzarella sticks
Dredge each mozzarella stick in flour, dip in beaten egg, then coat thoroughly with bread crumbs. Repeat egg and crumbs for extra crunch.
Chill the sticks
Place coated sticks in the freezer for 15 minutes to help the coating stay intact during frying.
Heat the oil
Heat olive oil in a deep pot or pan to 180°C for frying.
Fry the mozzarella sticks
Fry the sticks in batches for 2-3 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Do not overcrowd the pot.
Drain and serve
Remove sticks from oil and drain on paper towels. Serve hot with marinara sauce.
