Get ready to indulge in these crispy, cheesy Mozzarella Cheese Sticks! Perfect for snacking or as an appetizer. #CheeseLovers #SnackTime #MozzarellaSticks #Yum #EasyRecipes Ingredients: - 6 Mozzarella Sticks - 1/2 cup grated dry Parmesan cheese - 1 1/2 cups fried pork rinds - 1 tsp Italian seasoning blend - 1 egg - 2 tsps water Directions: 1. Start by cutting the mozzarella sticks in half crosswise. Set those cheesy pieces aside and let them chill for a minute. 2. In a small shallow dish or pan, whisk together the egg and water until well combined. 3. Time to add some crunch! Crush the fried pork rinds using a rolling pin or a blender until you have about 1/2 cup of crispy crumbs. 4. In another shallow baking pan, mix together the Parmesan cheese, crushed pork rinds, and Italian seasoning. This is where the magic happens! 5. Take each mozzarella stick and dip it first into the egg wash, making sure it’s well coated. Then roll it in the crunchy crumb mixture. For extra crispy goodness, repeat the dipping process once more. 6. Place your coated mozzarella sticks on a dish or pan that fits in the freezer and pop them in there for about two hours. (Trust me, the freezing makes them super cheesy and melty when baked!) 7. After the two-hour wait, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking pan with parchment paper or grease it slightly. 8. Carefully take the frozen mozzarella sticks out of the freezer and arrange them on the prepared pan. If you want to make them extra crispy, give them a light spray of olive oil (totally optional, but delicious!). 9. Bake those cheesy delights for 6-8 minutes—or until the coating is golden brown and the cheese inside is nice and warm. 10. Serve immediately with warm marinara sauce for dipping, and enjoy your perfectly crispy, gooey mozzarella sticks!
