Easy Mozzarella Sticks Recipe


This Easy Mozzarella Sticks Recipe does not compare to the frozen ones. The mix of breadcrumbs and cornmeal gives them a great crunch. Basic spices are all you need.

My daughter loves mozzarella sticks, usually when we would go to the grocery store my husband would buy her a box of the frozen ones. And yes, the whole box would only be for her.

There was a time, A LONG time ago, I attempted to make them, but they turned out to be a hot mess. Many years later, I found out the key to making them keep their shape is, freezing them before you fry. How come that didn’t come to mind then?
