Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

Prepare the Breading Station: Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes. In the first dish, place the flour. In the second dish, add the beaten eggs. In the third dish, combine breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan, dried oregano, garlic powder, and paprika.

Coat the Mozzarella Sticks: Take a mozzarella stick and coat it in the flour, shaking off any excess. Dip it into the beaten eggs, ensuring it is fully coated. Finally, roll the stick in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing the breadcrumbs gently to adhere.

Double Coating (Optional): For an extra crispy coating, repeat the process by dipping the mozzarella stick back into the beaten eggs and rolling it in the breadcrumb mixture again.

Arrange on the Baking Sheet: Place the coated mozzarella sticks on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each stick. This prevents them from sticking together during baking.

Bake to Perfection: Bake in the preheated oven for 8–10 minutes or until the mozzarella sticks are golden brown and crispy on the outside. Be careful not to overbake, as the cheese should remain gooey on the inside.

Serve with Marinara Sauce: Once baked, let the mozzarella sticks cool for a couple of minutes. Serve them warm with a side of marinara sauce for dipping.
