Time 1h50m

Yield Makes about 20

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 pound fresh salted mozzarella, patted dry
1/2 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
3 large eggs
1 cup plain dried breadcrumbs
1/4 cup packed finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano (1 ounce)
2 teaspoons mixed dried herbs, such as thyme, basil, parsley, and oregano
Safflower or other neutral-flavored oil, for frying
Marinara, warmed, for serving

Steps:

  • Cut mozzarella lengthwise into 1/2-inch-thick slices, then cut again into 4-by-1/2-inch sticks. Place flour in a shallow dish; season with salt and pepper. Whisk eggs with 1 tablespoon water in a separate dish; season with salt and pepper. Stir together breadcrumbs, Parmigiano-Reggiano, and herbs in a third shallow dish; season with salt and pepper.
  • Dredge mozzarella sticks in flour, tapping off excess. Dip in egg wash, allowing excess to drip off, and coat with breadcrumbs, patting to adhere. Transfer mozzarella sticks to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Freeze until firm, at least 1 hour. (Mozzarella sticks can be covered and frozen at this point up to 2 months.)
  • Pour enough oil into a heavy pot (preferably cast iron) to come 2 inches up sides. Heat over medium-high until a deep-fry thermometer reads 350 degrees. Working in batches, add mozzarella sticks; cook, turning occasionally, until golden and crisp, 2 to 3 minutes (adjust heat as necessary to maintain oil temperature.) Transfer to a wire rack set over a rimmed baking sheet to drain. Season with salt; serve immediately, with marinara sauce.

I thought these mozzarella sticks were just okay. They were a little too greasy for my taste.

These mozzarella sticks were a disappointment. The breading was too thick and the cheese was not melted properly.

I thought these mozzarella sticks were just okay. They were a little bland and the breading was too thick.

I've tried many mozzarella stick recipes and this one is by far the best. The mozzarella cheese was perfectly melted and the breading was crispy and flavorful.

Not a fan of the panko breadcrumbs, I prefer regular breadcrumbs. But overall, these mozzarella sticks were still delicious.

These mozzarella sticks were a hit at my party! They were crispy on the outside and gooey on the inside, just the way I like them. I used panko breadcrumbs for extra crunch and they turned out perfect.
