Slice mozzarella into sticks 1–3 cm in diameter.
Step 3
In a small bowl, whisk egg.
Step 4
Fill another small bowl with bread crumbs.
Step 5
Dip 3–4 sticks at a time into the egg.
Step 6
Shake excess egg off sticks and place them in the bread crumbs.
Step 7
Shake bowl of bread crumbs, evenly coating all sticks. Add more bread crumbs as needed.
Step 8
Place coated sticks to the side and repeat for remaining sticks.
Step 9
After all sticks have been coated, repeat the egg-dip and crumb-coat for each once more.
