Recipe Notes

To ensure that your cheese doesn't leak out you can do a double coat of just the eggs and the bread crumbs. So after your stick is prepared and before it goes into the oil, just dip in the eggs and then crumbs one additional time each.

First cut your mozzarella into sticks! 

Then get out all your supplies! 

First dip your mozzarella stick into the water, then into the flour. 

After it is coated in flour, dip into the egg wash, then the bread crumbs! 

Fry your stick for one to two minutes, until golden brown but not burned! Let sticks cool for a minute or two and enjoy promptly with marinara sauce!
