Step 1

Add 2-3 inches of oil to a deep-frying pan or pot and heat it over medium heat or until it reaches 265 degrees Fahrenheit.

Step 2

In the meantime, add the flour to a shallow bowl then add the salt and pepper and stir to combine.

Step 3

In another shallow bowl, whisk the eggs and water together.

Step 4

Finally, in a separate shallow bowl, add the breadcrumbs.

Step 5

Dredge the cheese sticks one at a time in the flour then dip them in the egg mixture then coat them in the breadcrumbs and set them on a plate or cooling rack.

Step 6

Once the oil is ready, fry each of the cheese sticks in the oil for 2-3 minutes or until light and golden. Only add 3-4 cheese sticks at a time to not overcrowd the pan.

Step 7

Let them cool on a cooling rack or a plate fitted with a paper towel then serve with marinara sauce.
