Step 1
Set up a breading station: place the 1/2 cup flour in one shallow bowl, beat the 2 eggs in another, and put the 1 cup breadcrumbs mixed with the 1/2 tsp salt in a third.
Step 2
Coat each of the 8 mozzarella sticks in flour, then dip in egg, then roll in breadcrumbs. Press gently so the coating sticks.
Step 3
Heat the 2 cups vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium-high until a breadcrumb sizzles immediately when dropped in, about 350°F.
Step 4
Fry the coated sticks in batches, without crowding, until golden brown and crisp, about 2-3 minutes per batch. Remove with tongs and drain on paper towels.
Step 5
Serve hot, with marinara sauce for dipping if you like.
