The Best Fried Mozzarella Cheese Sticks (FOOD PHOTO SHOOT)

They’re melty, they’re crispy, they’re hot, and oh man are they CHEESY!

Yes, I made some all-time classic snacks to share today, mozzarella sticks, baby!

Mozzarella sticks are such a major crowd pleaser, it’s ridicuolous. Really, I can never believe how quickly they get devoured by my family, particularly the dudes, but actually everyone loves them. They’re essentially just a different form of pizza, right? Game-changers, that’s what these are. <-True stuff.

So I thought I could do it but I was wrong. I just simply can’t tell you about these without thinking of my sis. She’d tell you this herself so it’s not like I’m talking behind her back or anything, but when she was pregnant with my nephew she says that she literally ate an entire Costco-sized box of mozza sticks all by herself. Not only that, but they became her go-to morning sickness cure for some reason. I think the whole thing is super funny.

Oh, and I’ve already practically sworn to make these for her again. Although, it’ll probably be something totally different that she craves next time. I remember a friend of my mom’s telling us that she literally craved wall stucco during one of her pregnancies and my mom always craved crushed ice. We used to go to Sonic drive-in for months in a row just to get their specific shape of ice.

So I feel pretty safe in declaring that these are well worth your time in trying them. There really is no comparing these to the frozen variety. I’m telling you, using the fresh and real mozzarella makes so much difference and then you can also have complete control over the flavor you want to coat them in. I like using Italian seasoning or sometimes I just use plain breadcrumbs. The best way to do them though, is to use some crushed chip crumbs mixed with panko. Whenever we have some mostly empty bags of chips lying around (usually left around the gaming room, messy boy) I save them for precisely this purpose and it is like a secret ingredient that makes them amazing.If you guys try these I’d love to know how you like them and please let me know if you have any questions or feedback in the comments!

As always, the recipe is available upon request. The first request gets an upvote.
