How to Make Better Than Storebought Mozzarella Sticks

1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and salt.
2. In a shallow dish, combine the breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, dried oregano, dried basil, and garlic powder.
3. Cut the mozzarella sticks into 1-inch thick pieces.
4. Gently dredge each mozzarella stick in the flour, ensuring excess flour is shaken off.
5. Dip each floured mozzarella stick into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off.
6. Thoroughly coat each mozzarella stick in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
7. Heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. The oil is ready when a small piece of breadcrumb mixture sizzles immediately upon contact.
8. Carefully place the mozzarella sticks in the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the skillet. Fry in batches if necessary.
9. Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
10. Remove the mozzarella sticks from the skillet and place them on a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
11. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce. Enjoy!
