In this step-by-step guide, we’re going to show you how to cook TGI Friday’s Mozzarella Sticks that are crispy on the outside and ooey-gooey cheesy on the inside!

Here’s what you’ll need:

• 1 package of mozzarella string cheese
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup bread crumbs
• 2 eggs
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• Oil for frying (vegetable or canola oil)
• Marinara sauce for dipping

Instructions:

1. Prepare your breading station. In one bowl, beat the eggs. In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, bread crumbs, dried oregano, dried basil, and garlic powder.
2. Take each mozzarella stick and dip it into the beaten eggs, making sure it is fully coated.
3. Next, roll the mozzarella stick in the bread crumb mixture, pressing gently to ensure the crumbs adhere to the cheese.
4. Repeat the egg and bread crumb coating process for each mozzarella stick, then place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and freeze for at least 30 minutes. Freezing them will help them retain their shape during frying.
5. While the mozzarella sticks are chilling in the freezer, heat oil in a deep fryer or a large pot to 375°F (190°C).
6. Gently drop the mozzarella sticks into the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the fryer. Fry for about 2-3 minutes, until golden brown and crisp.
7. Using a slotted spoon or tongs, carefully transfer the fried mozzarella sticks to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
8. Serve hot with marinara sauce for dipping, and enjoy!
