For the Marinara Sauce
- 1 jar (15 oz) marinara sauce (store-bought or homemade)
For the Creamy Dip
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1 tablespoon chopped parsley
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Prepare the Mozzarella Sticks
Start by prepping your breading station:
In one shallow dish, mix together the flour, panko, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk.
Coat the mozzarella cubes:
- Dip each cube into the egg mixture first.
- Then roll it in the flour-panko blend, ensuring it’s fully coated.
- For extra crispiness, repeat the dipping process for a double coating.
Pro Tip: Place coated mozzarella sticks in the freezer for 15–20 minutes before frying. This prevents the cheese from oozing out too quickly during cooking.
2. Fry to Crispy Perfection
In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat until shimmering (about 350°F / 175°C).
- Fry a few mozzarella sticks at a time, about 2–3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Remove them with a slotted spoon and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.
Safety Tip: Don’t overcrowd the skillet. Fry in small batches to maintain the oil temperature and ensure even cooking.
