Description

Indulge in the ultimate comfort snack with our Mozzarella Sticks recipe. Perfectly crispy on the outside, with a gooey, cheesy center, these mozzarella sticks are a crowd-pleaser for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale

1/2x 1x 2x 3x

• 12 sticks Mozzarella cheese (cut into 3/4 inch sticks)
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 Eggs (beaten)
• 1 cup Breadcrumbs (preferably Italian seasoned)
• 1 tsp Garlic powder
• 1 tsp Paprika
• Oil (for frying)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Ingredients

   Start by cutting the mozzarella cheese into sticks, if not pre-cut. Prepare three shallow bowls for the coating process.
   

2. Coat the Mozzarella Sticks

   Dredge each mozzarella stick in flour, dip into beaten eggs, and then roll in breadcrumbs mixed with garlic powder and paprika. Ensure each stick is fully coated.
   

3. Freeze

   Place the coated mozzarella sticks on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Freeze for at least 2 hours, or until solid.
   This step is crucial for maintaining the shape during frying.

4. Fry the Mozzarella Sticks

   Heat oil in a deep fryer or large saucepan to 365°F (185°C). Fry the mozzarella sticks in batches, without overcrowding, until golden brown, about 1 minute per side.
   Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.

5. Serve

   Drain on paper towels and serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
