A plate of mozzarella sticks with marinara sauce

Freeze the cheese sticks 20 minutes before coating so the cheese doesn't leak out.

How to make it

Freeze the cheese. Put the string cheese in the freezer 20 minutes.
Set up the coating. Put flour in one bowl, beaten eggs in another, and breadcrumbs mixed with garlic powder and salt in a third.
Coat twice. Roll each stick in flour, then egg, then breadcrumbs. Repeat the egg and breadcrumbs for a second coat.
Cook. Fry in hot oil 1–2 minutes till golden, or bake at 425 degrees for 10 minutes with a spray of oil.
Serve. Serve warm with marinara.
