  • Baking tray

step by step

Method

  1. Chill the mozzarella

    • Cut the mozzarella cheese into thick fry-shaped pieces, about 2 cm wide.
    • Place the mozzarella sticks in the refrigerator so they stay cold and firm.
    Step 1

  2. Make the egg wash

    • In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk and salt.
    Step 2

  3. Make the seasoned flour mix

    • In a separate bowl, combine the flour, paprika, garlic powder, black pepper, cayenne pepper and salt.
    Step 3

  4. First coating

    • Coat each mozzarella stick piece in the seasoned flour mixture, making sure it is fully covered.
    • Dip the floured mozzarella sticks into the egg wash, then coat them in breadcrumbs.
    Step 4

  5. Double coating

    • Dip the mozzarella sticks back into the seasoned flour, then into the egg wash, and finally into the breadcrumbs again for extra crispiness.
    Step 5

  6. Freeze the coated fries

    • Place the coated mozzarella fries onto a tray or plate and freeze. Freezing helps prevent the mozzarella sticks from bursting while frying.
    Step 6

  7. Heat the oil

    • Heat oil in a deep pan or fryer to 180 °C (350 °F).
    Step 7

  8. Fry the mozzarella fries

    • Fry the mozzarella fries in batches until the coating is golden brown and crispy. Do not overcook, as the cheese inside can melt too quickly and burst open.
    Step 8

  9. Drain and serve

    • Remove the crispy mozzarella fries with a slotted spoon and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.
    • Serve immediately with marinara sauce, garlic mayo, ranch or your favourite dipping sauce.
