Ingredients

  • (2) 16oz. blocks mozzarella cheese
  • 4 eggs, slightly beaten
  • 2 cups fine dry Italian bread crumbs
  • 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • peanut oil
  • marinara sauce

  2. In a shallow dish combine the bread crumbs, flour, salt and black pepper.
  3. In another shallow dish combine the water and the slightly beaten eggs.
  4. Dip the sticks of mozzarella cheese into the egg mixture, then roll them through the breadcrumb mixture to coat uniformly.

Quick Tip

If the mozzarella sticks were frozen for more than a couple of hours, allow them to sit at room temperature for fifteen minute before frying them.
