Start by placing a cutting board in front of you and cutting the string cheese sticks into bite-sized pieces.

In a medium-sized bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them until well-beaten. Add the milk and whisk again until the two ingredients are fully incorporated.

Next, set out two additional bowls. Fill one with flour and the other with breadcrumbs. Place the bowl with the egg and milk mixture in the middle, so you have three bowls in a row: flour, eggs, and breadcrumbs.

Take a piece of mozzarella cheese and dip it first into the flour, ensuring it's fully coated. Then, dip it into the egg mixture, followed by rolling it in the breadcrumbs to coat it evenly. Repeat this process for all the cheese pieces, placing each finished piece on a plate.

In a medium-sized skillet, heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil to 350°F. To test the temperature, place the handle of a wooden spoon in the oil—if bubbles form around it, the oil is ready.

Prepare a plate lined with paper towels to drain the fried cheese bites.

Add 5-7 pieces of the breaded cheese to the hot oil at a time, frying for about 30 seconds. Ensure the pieces are spaced out so they don’t stick together.

Fry the mozzarella bites until they turn golden brown (this should take about 30 seconds). Use a slotted spoon to remove them from the oil and transfer them to the paper towel-lined plate.

Continue frying the rest of the cheese bites in batches.

Serve the bites immediately with pasta sauce or enjoy them on their own!
