Cut mozzarella cheese sticks in half if desired.

Set up a breading station: place flour in one bowl, beaten eggs in another, and breadcrumbs mixed with garlic powder and Italian seasoning in a third.

Dip each cheese stick into the flour, coating evenly.

Next, dip it into the beaten eggs, allowing excess to drip off.

Finally, coat the cheese stick with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.

Heat oil in a deep skillet over medium heat.

Once the oil is hot, carefully add the breaded cheese sticks in batches.

Fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown.

Remove from oil and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.

Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
