  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning Brings authentic Italian flavor.
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic powder Adds savory depth.
  • 1 teaspoon Paprika Gives warm color and subtle smokiness.

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Freeze your mozzarella sticks for about 30 minutes, ensuring they become firm and easier to handle.
  2. Coat each stick in all-purpose flour, making sure they're evenly covered.
  3. Dip the sticks into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off.
  4. Roll each stick in the seasoned breadcrumbs, pressing gently to ensure an even coating.
  5. Freeze the breaded sticks for another 15 minutes.
  6. Fry the sticks in hot oil (about 350°F) for about 2-3 minutes, or until they turn golden brown.
  7. Drain the mozzarella sticks on paper towels to absorb excess oil, and serve immediately.
