Ingredients
Scale
Mozzarella Sticks
- 12 mozzarella sticks
Breading
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 2 large eggs
Frying
- 1 to 2 cups vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
- Prepare the breading station: In one shallow bowl, beat the eggs until smooth. In another shallow bowl, place the breadcrumbs. This setup will allow you to bread the mozzarella sticks easily.
- Bread the mozzarella sticks: Dip each mozzarella stick into the beaten eggs, making sure it is fully coated. Then roll it thoroughly in the breadcrumbs until it is evenly coated. For extra crunch, you can dip them back into the egg and breadcrumbs a second time.
- Heat the oil: Pour the vegetable oil into a deep frying pan or skillet to a depth of about 1-2 inches. Heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches about 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer for accuracy if available.
- Fry the mozzarella sticks: Carefully place a few breaded mozzarella sticks into the hot oil. Fry them for about 1 to 2 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Avoid overcrowding the pan to maintain oil temperature.
- Drain and serve: Use a slotted spoon to remove the fried mozzarella sticks from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve immediately while hot and gooey.
Notes
- Double breading the mozzarella sticks helps prevent cheese from leaking out during frying.
- Maintain oil temperature to ensure crispy coating without absorbing too much oil.
- Serve with marinara sauce or your favorite dipping sauce for added flavor.
- Fry in small batches to maintain oil temperature and crispiness.
