Mozzarella Cheese Sticks

There is no doubt that cheese is one of the best appetizers. But even this appetizer can be improved by giving it an even more convenient shape and dipping it in batter. The result is cheese sticks that are chewy on the inside and crispy on the outside. But be aware that this appetizer is tricky: it is so delicious that you may not even get to the main course.

Mozzarella Cheese Sticks - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes! While mozzarella is ideal for its mild flavor and great meltiness, you can substitute it with other cheeses like cheddar, provolone, or pepper jack for a different taste. Just ensure they’re firm enough to hold their shape when fried.
Replace the regular flour with a gluten-free flour blend and use gluten-free breadcrumbs or crushed gluten-free crackers for coating. Ensure all other ingredients (like baking powder) are certified gluten-free.
Absolutely. For a healthier version, lightly spray the coated cheese sticks with oil and bake at 200°C (400°F) for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden brown. Watch closely to prevent oozing.
Store cooled leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat in an oven or air fryer at 180°C (350°F) for a few minutes to restore crispiness.
Yes! Freeze the battered and breaded sticks on a tray until solid, then transfer to a freezer bag. Fry directly from frozen, adding 1-2 minutes to cooking time.
Classic choices include marinara, ranch, or garlic aioli. For a twist, try pesto, sriracha mayo, or a balsamic glaze.
Ensure your oil is hot enough (180°C/350°F) before frying, and don’t overcrowd the pan. A double coat of batter and breadcrumbs also helps seal the cheese.
Yes! Prep and bread the sticks up to a day ahead, keeping them refrigerated. Fry just before serving for the crispiest results.
