- Prepare a sheet tray with wax paper. One by one, dip each piece of string cheese in the egg and then in the flour mixture. Place each breaded cheese stick on the sheet tray. When all the cheese sticks are breaded, set them in the freezer for at least 6 hours.
- When it’s time to cook the mozzarella sticks, heat 2 cups of vegetable oil in a large skillet. When the oil is hot, drop the frozen mozzarella sticks in the skillet. Cook for 30-60 seconds per side, and allow them to drain on a paper towel to soak up excess grease. Enjoy hot!
