Crispy Mozzarella Sticks

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1️⃣ Set Up Your Breading Station

• Place flour in one shallow bowl.
• In a second bowl, beat the eggs with the milk.
• In a third bowl, mix the breadcrumbs with garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper (if using plain breadcrumbs).

2️⃣ Bread the Mozzarella Sticks

1. Roll each mozzarella stick in flour, tapping off excess.
2. Dip into the egg mixture until fully coated.
3. Roll in breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.
4. Repeat egg and breadcrumb steps for a double coating (this helps prevent cheese leakage during frying).

3️⃣ Freeze

• Place breaded mozzarella sticks on a lined baking sheet and freeze for at least 1 hour (or up to overnight). This is essential for keeping the cheese from melting too quickly in the oil.
