What Are Mozzarella Sticks?
Mozzarella sticks are a popular appetizer or snack made from sticks of mozzarella cheese. They are coated in a seasoned breadcrumb mixture and deep-fried until golden and crispy.
The cheese inside becomes warm and stretchy, creating that irresistible cheese pull everyone loves.
Traditionally served with marinara sauce, they can also be paired with ranch dressing, garlic aioli, or spicy sauces for a fun twist.
