Irresistible Spicy Cheesy Mozzarella Sticks Recipe
Irresistibly crunchy on the outside and gooey on the inside, Spicy Cheesy Mozzarella Sticks bring bold flavor to parties, game nights, or casual snack cravings.
- 8 ounces mozzarella cheese sticks
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup seasoned breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Oil for frying
- Marinara sauce for dipping
Prepare the cheese sticks by cutting them into halves.
Set up your breading station with flour, beaten eggs, and breadcrumbs mixed with spices.
Dip each cheese stick in flour, then egg, and finally in the breadcrumb mixture.
Chill the coated cheese sticks in the freezer for at least 30 minutes.
Heat oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F.
Fry the sticks in batches until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes each.
Remove the fried mozzarella sticks and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.
Serve warm with marinara sauce for dipping.
