Cheese Sticks Recipe

Prepare the Ingredients

Gather all the ingredients. Set up a breading station with three bowls: one for flour, one for beaten eggs, and one for breadcrumbs mixed with salt and pepper.

Bread the Cheese Sticks

Dip each mozzarella stick first in the flour, making sure it is fully coated. Then dip it into the beaten eggs, followed by rolling it in the breadcrumb mixture until fully coated. Repeat this for all cheese sticks.

Chill the Coated Sticks

Place the breaded cheese sticks on a baking sheet and freeze for about 30 minutes to firm up, which helps prevent the cheese from leaking during frying.

Fry the Cheese Sticks

In a deep skillet or pot, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the frozen cheese sticks in batches and fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Serve

Serve the cheese sticks hot with a side of tzatziki sauce for dipping.
