Instructions

  1. 1

    Cut the mozzarella into sticks about 3 inches long and 1/2 inch thick.

  2. 2

    Set up three bowls with flour, beaten eggs, and panko mixed with Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and salt.

  3. 3

    Coat each stick in flour, then egg, then panko, then repeat the egg and panko for a double crust.

  4. 4

    Freeze the breaded sticks on a plate for 15 minutes so they hold together when fried.

  5. 5

    Heat the oil to 350°F in a deep skillet and fry in batches 1 to 2 minutes until deep golden.

  6. 6

    Drain on paper towels and serve hot with warmed marinara.
