These Homemade Mozzarella Sticks are golden, crispy, and oozing with cheese—everything you want in a classic snack or appetizer. Thick strips of mozzarella are double-dredged in seasoned flour, eggs, and breadcrumbs for that perfect crunch. Frozen for optimal frying, they cook up golden brown and delicious. Finished with a sprinkle of Parmesan and salt, and served with your favorite dipping sauce, they're easy to make and totally irresistible.

Tips & Tricks (5)

  • Freeze for Perfection 🧊
    Freeze the breaded mozzarella sticks for at least 2 hours before frying to prevent cheese from melting too quickly and ensure a crispy exterior.
  • Double-Dredge Technique 🧀
    Use a precise three-step breading process: first flour (seasoned with garlic powder and black pepper), then egg wash, then seasoned breadcrumbs for maximum crunch and adhesion.
  • Oil Temperature Mastery 🌡️
    Maintain oil temperature at exactly 350°F (175°C) for perfect golden-brown mozzarella sticks that are crispy outside and melty inside.
  • Cheese Selection Secret 🧀
    Use low-moisture, block mozzarella and cut into uniform 1/2-inch thick sticks to ensure even cooking and prevent cheese from leaking during frying.
  • Drain Like a Pro 🥄
    After frying, drain mozzarella sticks on a wire rack over paper towels to maintain crispiness and prevent soggy bottoms.
