Step-by-Step Instructions
- Prepare the breading station by setting up three shallow bowls: one with flour, the second with breadcrumbs mixed with salt and pepper, and the third with a mixture of eggs and milk.
- Coat each string cheese stick with flour evenly to help the batter stick.
- Dip the floured cheese stick into the egg and milk mixture, ensuring it is fully submerged for the coating to adhere.
- Roll the cheese stick in the seasoned breadcrumbs, making sure to cover it completely, and double dredge for extra crunch.
- Freeze the coated sticks on a parchment-lined tray for at least 2 hours to maintain their shape during frying.
- Heat the oil in a deep pot to 350°F (175°C) using a thermometer for accuracy.
- Fry a few frozen cheese sticks in the hot oil for 2-3 minutes until golden brown and crisp.
- Use a slotted spoon to transfer the fried mozzarella sticks to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
