Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup all purpose flour
  • 1 cup Italian style breadcrumbs
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tbsp milk of choice
  • 1 pound mozzarella cheese cut into 3/4 by 3/4 inch strips
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup marinara sauce for dipping

Instructions

  • In a medium bowl whisk together the milk and eggs. Place the flour in a separate bowl and the bread crumbs in another bowl.
  • Coat each piece of cheese with flour, then dredge in the egg mixture and roll in breadcrumbs. Dip in the egg mixture and the breadcrumbs one more time.
  • Repeat the process until you are done, then transfer the mozzarella sticks to a freezer safe container lined with parchment paper. Freeze fully before frying.
  • When ready to fry, heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place the frozen mozzarella sticks in the oil using tongs and cook, flipping every 2-3 minutes, until fully cooked through (before the cheese starts to leak out).
  • Transfer to a paper towel. When done, serve with marinara sauce for dipping and enjoy!
