Ingredients
1½ cups dry Italian breadcrumbs
1â…“ cups grated Parmesan cheese, divided
1 tsp salt
2 (16 oz) packages mozzarella sticks
4 large eggs, beaten
1½ cups vegetable oil (for frying)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, mix breadcrumbs, 1 cup Parmesan, and salt.
Cut mozzarella sticks in half.
Dip each stick in beaten eggs, then into breadcrumb mixture. Repeat both steps to double coat.
Place coated sticks on a baking sheet, cover, and freeze for at least 2 hours (or up to 3 months).
Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry cheese sticks in batches, about 1 minute per side, until golden brown.
