Instructions

  1. 1 Gather all ingredients.
  2. 2 Whisk eggs and water together in a small bowl. Combine bread crumbs and garlic salt in a medium bowl. Whisk flour and cornstarch together in a third bowl. Heat oil in a deep fryer or large, heavy saucepan to 365 degrees F (185 degrees C).
  3. 3 Dredge 1 mozzarella stick in flour mixture; shake off excess. Dip into egg mixture; allow excess to drip off. Press into bread crumbs to coat; repeat dipping in egg and bread crumbs to create a double coating. Place breaded mozzarella stick on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Repeat with remaining mozzarella sticks.
  4. 4 Freeze until firm to help coating set and prevent cheese from oozing during frying, about 45 minutes.
  5. 5 Carefully lower frozen mozzarella sticks, in batches of 3 to 4 at a time, into the hot oil using a spider spoon or tongs. Fry until golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes, flipping occasionally for even color. Avoid overcrowding the pan to maintain oil temperature. Transfer fried mozzarella sticks with a spider spoon or tongs to paper towels; drain. Repeat with remaining mozzarella sticks.
  6. 6 Serve hot and enjoy!
