Homemade Fried Mozzarella Sticks 😍

Ingredients:

• 2 large eggs, beaten
• ¼ cup water
• 1 ½ cups Italian seasoned bread crumbs
• ½ teaspoon garlic salt
• ⅔ cup all-purpose flour
• ⅓ cup cornstarch
• 2 cups oil for frying (or as needed)
• 1 (16-ounce) package mozzarella cheese sticks

Directions:

1. Prepare the Coatings:
   • In a small bowl, whisk together water and beaten eggs.
   • In a medium bowl, combine Italian seasoned bread crumbs and garlic salt.
   • In a third bowl, blend flour and cornstarch.
2. Heat the Oil:
   • Heat oil in a large, heavy saucepan to 365°F (185°C).
3. Bread the Mozzarella Sticks:
   • Dredge each mozzarella stick in the flour mixture, shaking off the excess.
   • Dip the floured stick into the egg mixture, letting any excess drip off.
   • Press the stick into the bread crumb mixture, coating thoroughly. Place on a plate or wire rack. Repeat with all mozzarella sticks.
4. Fry the Mozzarella Sticks:
   • Carefully lower 3 to 4 breaded mozzarella sticks into the hot oil using a spider spoon or tongs.
   • Fry until golden brown, about 30 seconds.
   • Remove from oil and drain on paper towels. Repeat with remaining mozzarella sticks.
5. Serve:
   • Serve hot with marinara sauce or your favorite dipping sauce.
