Mozzarella Sticks Recipe

Ingredients:

• 12-15 Mozzarella cheese sticks
• 1 cup flour
• 2 teaspoons garlic powder
• 2 teaspoons dried oregano
• 2 teaspoons paprika
• 3 eggs
• 1/4 cup milk
• 2 cups breadcrumbs
• Vegetable oil for frying
• Marinara sauce for dipping

Instructions:

1. Cut each mozzarella stick in half lengthwise to make 24-30 pieces.
2. In a small bowl, mix together flour, garlic powder, oregano, and paprika.
3. In another small bowl, whisk eggs and milk together.
4. In a third bowl, place breadcrumbs.
5. Coat each piece of mozzarella cheese with the flour mixture.
6. Dip each flour-coated mozzarella piece into the egg mixture.
7. Then, coat each egg-coated mozzarella piece with the breadcrumbs.
8. Place the coated cheese sticks on a baking sheet and freeze for at least 30 minutes.
9. In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, heat vegetable oil over medium heat until it reaches 375°F.
