| 250 g | Mozzarella (firm variety, e.g. for grilling) |
| 50 g | Flour |
| 2 Stück | Eggs |
| 100 g | Breadcrumbs |
| 1 TL | Sweet paprika |
| nach Bedarf | Oil (for frying or baking) |
| 200 g | Marinara dip (tomato dip) |
Preparation
- 1 Cut the mozzarella into sticks about 1.5 cm thick and pat dry.
- 2 Set out flour, whisked eggs, and breadcrumbs mixed with sweet paprika in three bowls.
- 3 Coat the sticks one after another in flour, egg, and breadcrumbs — ideally dip them a second time in egg and breadcrumbs so the coating seals well.
- 4 Chill the breaded sticks for at least 20 minutes.
- 5 Heat oil to 180 °C and fry the sticks in batches for 2–3 minutes until golden brown (or bake in the oven/air fryer at 200 °C for about 10–12 minutes).
- 6 Drain on paper towels and serve with the marinara dip.
Notes & tips
Note: Contains cow's milk, gluten and egg. To keep the breading from bursting during frying, chill the sticks for at least 20 minutes before frying. Oven/air fryer version: 200 °C, 10–12 minutes.
