Mozzarella Sticks

🥞 American

The bar snack that wins every table — cheese logs in a shatter-crisp crumb shell, built to pull a cheese stretch that gets filmed. Serve with marinara or admit defeat.

  1. 1

    Cut mozzarella into thick sticks; freeze 30 minutes.

Chef's tip

The double-freeze is non-negotiable: warm cheese explodes into the oil and you lose the sticks.
