Prepare the Breading Station:

• In one bowl, place the all-purpose flour.
• In another bowl, mix Mama San Panko Breadcrumbs with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
• In a third bowl, beat the eggs.

Coat the Cheese Sticks:

• Take each mozzarella stick and coat it in flour, shaking off any excess.
• Dip the floured stick into the beaten eggs, ensuring it's fully coated.
• Roll the stick in the seasoned Panko Breadcrumbs mixture, pressing gently to adhere the breadcrumbs.

Double Coating (Optional for Extra Crunch):

• For an extra crispy texture, repeat the process by dipping the stick back into the beaten eggs and rolling it in the Panko Breadcrumbs once again.

Chill the Coated Sticks:

• Place the coated cheese sticks on a tray lined with parchment paper and let them chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This helps the coating set and prevents excessive melting during frying.

Frying:

• Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or a heavy-bottomed pan to 180°C 
• Carefully place a few cheese sticks into the hot oil at a time, frying until golden brown and crispy, usually 2-3 minutes. Avoid overcrowding the pan.

Draining and Serving:

• Use a slotted spoon to remove the cheese sticks and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.

Serve:

• Serve the Mama San Panko Breadcrumb’ed Cheese Sticks immediately with marinara sauce for dipping.

Enjoy:

• Enjoy the irresistible combination of crispy Mama San Panko Breadcrumbs and gooey melted cheese! 

These cheese sticks make for a fantastic appetizer or snack, and the Mama San Panko Breadcrumbs add that perfect crunch!
