Prepare the Cheese Sticks:
Slice each mozzarella stick lengthwise into 3-4 thin strips to resemble fries.
Place the strips on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and freeze for at least 1 hour.
Set Up the Breading Station:
Place flour in one shallow dish.
In a second dish, beat the eggs.
In a third dish, mix breadcrumbs, garlic powder, oregano, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
Bread the Cheese Strips:
Dip each frozen mozzarella strip into the flour, ensuring it’s fully coated.
Then dip it into the beaten eggs, followed by the breadcrumb mixture.
Repeat the egg and breadcrumb coating for an extra crunchy layer.
Fry the Mozzarella Fries:
Heat about 2 inches of oil in a deep skillet or pot to 350°F (175°C).
Fry the breaded mozzarella fries in small batches for 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown.
Use a slotted spoon to transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Serve:
Serve hot with marinara sauce or ranch dressing for dipping.
These crispy, cheesy fries are perfect for parties, game nights, or satisfying your snack cravings! 🧀✨
