Assemble (3) shallow bowls. In the first bowl, add and mix together the flour and seasonings (salt, black pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder). In the second bowl, add and whisk together the eggs and water. In the third bowl, add and mix together the breadcrumbs and seasonings (salt, black pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, dried parsley, dried oregano and paprika).

Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside. Working with one mozzarella stick at a time, thoroughly coat in the flour mixture, then in the egg batter and lastly in the breadcrumbs. Repeat coating process but this time starting with the egg batter and ending with the breadcrumb mixture. Transfer to prepared baking sheet and repeat coating process with the remaining mozzarella sticks. (To minimize the cheese bursting out once fried, make sure that each mozzarella stick this thoroughly coated in breadcrumbs including the top and bottom. Do not skip the double coat step.)

Transfer baking sheet with coated mozzarella sticks into the freezer to chill for 1 hour.

Heat oil in a large pan or skillet to 325F. In batches, fry the mozzarella sticks until golden brown on all sides about 4 to 6 minutes or longer as needed. Transfer to a wire cooling rack placed over a paper towel lined baking sheet to catch any excess oil drippings.

Serve mozzarella sticks immediately while still hot as is or with a side of your favorite sauce. Enjoy!
