Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 units Mozzarella cheese sticks
- 0.5 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 1 cup Gluten-free breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 tablespoon Dried Italian seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 cups Vegetable oil
Instructions
Start by freezing the mozzarella sticks for about 30 minutes; this helps them maintain their shape during frying.
While the cheese sticks are in the freezer, set up a breading station with three shallow bowls.
In the first bowl, place the gluten-free all-purpose flour.
In the second bowl, beat the eggs with the milk until well combined.
In the third bowl, mix the gluten-free breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
Once the mozzarella sticks are firm, dredge each stick in the flour, shaking off any excess.
Next, dip the floured stick into the egg mixture, ensuring it is fully coated.
Then, roll the stick in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing lightly to adhere the crumbs to the cheese.
Repeat the dipping (egg) and breading (crumbs) one more time for each stick to ensure a thick coating.
After coating all mozzarella sticks, heat the vegetable oil in a large deep skillet over medium heat to 350°F (175°C).
Fry the mozzarella sticks in batches for about 2-3 minutes per batch, or until golden brown and crispy on the outside.
Use a slotted spoon to remove the mozzarella sticks from the oil and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
Serve immediately with your favorite marinara sauce for dipping.
