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
- 1 1/2 cups vegetable oil
Directions:
- In a medium bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, 1 cup of grated Parmesan cheese, and salt.
- Cut each mozzarella stick in half.
- In a shallow bowl, beat the eggs until well blended. Dip each cheese stick into the beaten eggs, then coat it in the breadcrumb mixture. For an extra crispy coating, repeat this step for a double coating.
- Place the coated cheese sticks on a baking sheet and cover them. Freeze them for 2 hours. This step helps them hold their shape during frying.
- Heat the vegetable oil over medium heat in a deep pan or skillet. You can test the oil by dropping a small piece of breadcrumbs into it. If it sizzles and turns golden brown, the oil is ready.
- Carefully fry the frozen cheese sticks in the hot oil until they turn a beautiful golden brown, about 1 minute per side.
- Once fried, transfer the Mozzarella Sticks to plates. Sprinkle them with the remaining grated Parmesan cheese for an extra burst of flavor.
- Serve these scrumptious Mozzarella Sticks while they’re still warm and enjoy!
