Ingredients:

Serving

1 lb mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup flour
3 large eggs
1 cup breadcrumbs
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp oregano
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1 pinch salt
1 pinch pepper
8 oz marinara sauce, chilled
vegetable oil

Directions:

Cut the mozzarella into sticks a bit more than about 1/4 inch thick and about 1 1/2 inches long.
Coat the sticks with flour, shaking off excess.
Combine the bread crumbs and seasonings in a flat dish.
Beat the eggs and place in a separate bowl.
Coat the sticks by dipping them in the egg and then in the bread crumbs.
The coating on the first stick should be fairly dry when you finish the last stick.
Repeat with another dip in the egg and then in the bread crumbs.
Deep-fry the coated sticks in oil for about 3 to 4 minutes until the coating is cooked.
Fry in batches, keeping the finished ones warm in the oven.
Serve with chilled marinara sauce or salsa.
