The EASIEST Way to Make Mozzarella Cheese Sticks

Instructions:

COAT – Prepare bowls for breading your mozzarella sticks. In one bowl, whisk the eggs. Pour the Italian bread crumbs into a second bowl. Unwrap cheese sticks and cut them in half.

FRY – Heat canola or vegetable oil in a frying pan. Place the sticks in the oil and fry until golden brown on all sides (rotating the sticks twice which takes about 60 seconds total). Placed the fried sticks on layered paper towels on top of a plate. The paper towels will absorb the extra oil.

Be careful! When you’re working with hot oil,  be VERY careful when you’re dropping the sticks in and removing them. Use long-handled tongs and a gentle touch works well.

Recipe Tip

If you want to dip them into a pot full of oil, I suggest that you freeze the cheese sticks on a cookie sheet for 20-30 minutes first.

Fried Mozzarella Sticks

Cheese Sticks Dipped in a Simple Batter and Fried to Golden Perfection.
Servings: 12 sticks

Equipment

  • 2 small bowls
  • Whisk
  • Frying pan
  • Paper towels
  • Plates
  • Knife
  • Tongs

Ingredients 

  • 2 eggs
  • ½ cup Italian bread crumbs
  • Oil (Enough to cover the bottom of a large frying pan as seen in the video)
  • Dips of choice: marinara sauce, ranch, etc.

Instructions 

  • Cut the mozzarella cheese sticks in half
  • Whisk both eggs in one bowl
  • Add breadsticks to the second bowl
  • Roll each cheese stick in the egg
  • Roll each stick into the breadcrumbs
  • Repeat steps #4 and #5 at least twice until the cheese sticks are covered in batter
  • Warm oil in the frying pan over medium heat until it is hot (not bubbling, but hot enough to fry)
  • Once the oil is hot, reduce the heat to medium-low and place the prepared cheese sticks into the hot oil
  • Turn the cheese sticks over (about 2-3 times) until they are fried all around. This only takes about a minute or so because they fry quickly!
  • Place the fried sticks on a stack of paper towels. The excess oil will absorb into the paper towels
