Crispy Fried Mozzarella Cheese Sticks – A Perfect Snack!

Cut mozzarella cheese sticks in half if desired. Freeze the cheese sticks for about 30 minutes to make them easier to handle.

Prepare Breading Stations:

Place flour in a shallow dish.

In another shallow dish, whisk together eggs and water.

In a third shallow dish, spread the Italian-style bread crumbs.

Coat Cheese Sticks:

Roll each frozen cheese stick in flour, ensuring it’s fully coated.

Dip the floured cheese stick into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off.

Coat the cheese stick with bread crumbs, pressing the crumbs onto the cheese to adhere well.

Repeat the egg and bread crumb coating for an extra crispy texture.

Heat Oil:
