Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 oz fresh mozzarella cheese, cut into sticks
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • Vegetable oil for frying

Instructions

  1. Cut the mozzarella into thick strips (about 1/2 inch wide).
  2. Set up a breading station with three bowls: one with flour mixed with salt and pepper, one with beaten eggs, and one with panko breadcrumbs mixed with garlic powder.
  3. Dip each mozzarella stick into the flour, then egg wash, and finally coat in breadcrumbs. Press gently to ensure adherence.
  4. Place coated sticks on a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze for at least 30 minutes.
  5. Heat oil in a deep skillet over medium heat (350°F/180°C). Fry sticks in batches until golden brown (3-4 minutes). Drain on paper towels.
  6. Serve warm with marinara sauce or your favorite dips.
