Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 cups Italian-style dried breadcrumbs
• 1 1/3 cups freshly grated Parmesan cheese, divided
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 16-ounce packages mozzarella cheese sticks
• 4 large eggs, beaten to blend
• 1 1/2 cups vegetable oil

How To Make Homemade Fried Mozzarella Sticks:

1. Prepare Breadcrumb Mixture: In a medium bowl, mix together the breadcrumbs, 1 cup of grated Parmesan cheese, and salt until well combined.
2. Prepare Mozzarella Sticks: Cut each mozzarella stick in half to create smaller pieces.
3. Coat Cheese Sticks: Dip each mozzarella stick into the beaten eggs, ensuring it’s completely coated. Allow the excess egg to drip back into the bowl. Next, coat the cheese sticks in the breadcrumb mixture, patting gently to adhere and ensure they’re fully coated. Repeat the process by dipping the coated cheese sticks back into the egg mixture and breadcrumb mixture for a second coating.
4. Freeze: Place the coated cheese sticks on a baking sheet and cover them. Freeze until firm, approximately 2 hours.
5. Fry: Heat vegetable oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Working in batches, fry the frozen cheese sticks until they are golden brown and crispy on all sides, about 1 minute per side.
6. Serve: Once fried, transfer the mozzarella sticks to plates. Sprinkle them with the remaining grated Parmesan cheese for an extra cheesy touch. Serve immediately and enjoy the gooey, crispy goodness!
