Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls. In the first bowl, place the gluten-free flour. In the second bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined. In the third bowl, mix the gluten-free breadcrumbs with the Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Dip each mozzarella stick into the flour, making sure to coat it completely. Then, dip it into the egg mixture, and finally, coat it thoroughly with the seasoned breadcrumbs. For an extra crispy coating, dip the breaded stick back into the egg mixture and then again into the breadcrumbs.
Place the coated mozzarella sticks on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Freeze for at least 1 hour. This helps the coating stick to the cheese and prevents them from melting too quickly when frying.
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully add the mozzarella sticks in batches. Fry them until golden brown and crispy, about 1-2 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.
Pro Tip
For an extra burst of flavor, serve your gluten free mozzarella sticks with a side of marinara sauce or a spicy ranch dip. This adds a delicious contrast to the cheesy sticks and enhances the overall experience.
