Ingredients

• 250 grams Mozzarella cheese (block or sticks)
• 100 grams All-purpose flour
• 2 large Eggs
• 150 grams Breadcrumbs
• 30 grams Parmesan cheese (finely grated)
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 500 milliliters Vegetable oil (for frying)

Directions

Step 1

Cut the mozzarella cheese into sticks or rectangles approximately 1 cm thick and 7 cm long. Place them on a plate and chill in the freezer for 10 minutes to firm up.

Step 2

Set up a breading station: Place the flour in one shallow dish. In a second shallow dish, beat the eggs until smooth. In a third shallow dish, combine the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, oregano, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

Coat each mozzarella stick in flour, ensuring an even coating. Dip it next into the beaten eggs, letting any excess drip off. Then roll it in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere. For extra crispiness, repeat the egg and breadcrumb coating process one more time.

Step 4

Place the breaded cheese sticks back in the freezer for at least 15 minutes to help them hold together during frying.

Step 5

In a deep, heavy-bottomed skillet or saucepan, heat the vegetable oil to 180°C (350°F). If you don’t have a thermometer, test by dropping a small piece of breadcrumb into the oil—if it sizzles immediately, the oil is ready.

Step 6

Fry the cheese sticks in batches, 3-4 at a time, to avoid overcrowding. Cook each batch for 1-2 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy.

Step 7

Using a slotted spoon, transfer the fried cheese sticks to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

Step 8

Serve the Smaen Sr Fried Cheese immediately with marinara sauce, ketchup, or any dipping sauce of your choice. Enjoy while hot and gooey!
