Instructions
Cut the cheese
Cut mozzarella into sticks about 1 cm thick and 8 cm long.
Prepare coating station
Set up three bowls: flour in the first, beaten eggs in the second, and seasoned breadcrumbs in the third.
Coat the sticks
Roll each mozzarella stick in flour, dip in egg, then coat thoroughly in breadcrumbs. Repeat the egg and breadcrumb step for extra crispiness.
Chill the sticks
Place coated sticks in the freezer for 15 minutes to help them hold their shape while frying.
Heat the oil
Heat olive oil in a deep pan to 180°C.
Fry the sticks
Fry the mozzarella sticks in batches until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.
Drain and serve
Remove sticks from oil and drain on paper towels. Serve immediately with marinara sauce.
