Ingredients:

• 2 large eggs, beaten.

• ¼ cup water

• 1 ½ cups Italian seasoned breadcrumbs

• ½ teaspoon garlic salt

• ⅔ cup all-purpose flour

• ⅓ cup cornstarch

• 2 cups oil for frying, or as needed.

• 1 (16 ounce) package mozzarella cheese sticks

• Directions:

• Whisk water and eggs together in a small bowl. Mix breadcrumbs and garlic salt together in a medium bowl. Blend flour and cornstarch together in a third bowl.

• 2. Heat oil to 365 degrees F (185 degrees C) in a large, heavy saucepan.

  3. Dredge a mozzarella stick in flour; shake off excess. Dip into egg mixture. Lift up so excess egg drips back in the bowl. Press into bread crumbs to coat. Place breaded mozzarella stick on a plate or wire rack. Repeat with remaining mozzarella sticks.

  4. Use a spider spoon or a pair of tongs to lower 3 to 4 mozzarella sticks into the hot oil. Fry until golden brown, about 30 seconds. Remove from heat and drain on paper towels. Repeat to fry remaining mozzarella sticks.

  5. Serve hot and enjoy!
