How to Bake Deep Fried Mozzarella Cheese Sticks

I'm sorry, but there seems to be a contradiction in your request. Mozzarella cheese sticks are typically not deep-fried, but rather baked in the oven. However, if you're looking for a recipe for deep-fried cheese sticks, I can certainly provide one.

Here's a recipe for deep-fried mozzarella cheese sticks:

Ingredients: - 12 mozzarella cheese sticks - 1 cup all-purpose flour - 1 teaspoon garlic powder - 1 teaspoon onion powder - 1/2 teaspoon paprika - 1/2 teaspoon salt - 1/4 teaspoon black pepper - 2 eggs - 2 tablespoons milk - 2 cups Italian-style breadcrumbs - Oil for frying (vegetable or canola)

Instructions: 1. Cut the mozzarella cheese sticks in half so that you have 24 pieces. 2. In a shallow dish, combine the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. In another shallow dish, beat together the eggs and milk. In a third shallow dish, place the breadcrumbs. 3. Dip each piece of cheese first into the flour mixture, then into the egg mixture, and finally into the breadcrumbs, pressing the breadcrumbs onto the cheese to make sure they stick. 4. Heat the oil in a deep fryer or heavy-bottomed pot to 375°F (190°C). 5. Working in batches, carefully place the cheese sticks into the hot oil and fry until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes. 6. Using a slotted spoon or tongs, remove the cheese sticks from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. 7. Serve the cheese sticks hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as marinara sauce or ranch dressing.
