Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How do I keep the cheese from leaking out while frying?
Freezing the cheese sticks before frying is key. It helps the cheese hold its shape while the coating crisps up. Make sure your oil is hot enough (350°F) so the sticks fry quickly and don’t have time to melt too much.
Can I make mozzarella sticks ahead of time?
Yes! You can bread the mozzarella sticks and freeze them on a tray. Once frozen, transfer them to a freezer-safe bag or container. They can be stored in the freezer for up to 3 months. When you’re ready to fry, take them straight from the freezer to the oil without thawing.
Can I bake instead of fry?
Absolutely. For a healthier alternative, bake them at 400°F for about 10 minutes, flipping halfway through. You may not get the same level of crispiness, but it’s still delicious.
What’s the best oil for frying mozzarella sticks?
Vegetable, canola, or peanut oil are ideal for frying mozzarella sticks. These oils have a high smoke point and will give your mozzarella sticks that crispy, golden finish.
