Why This Recipe Stands Out
We all love mozzarella sticks, but there’s something about homemade ones that makes them extra special. Here’s why this recipe works:- Restaurant Quality: These mozzarella sticks are just as good as what you’d get at your favorite restaurant, if not better!
- Extra Crispy: The panko breading gives these mozzarella sticks an extra crispy texture that we can’t get enough of, as it does in our Panko Breaded Pork Chops!
- Melted Cheese: Flash-freezing the cheese keeps it from falling apart in hot oil. The result is perfectly melted mozzarella in every bite.
- Perfect Finger Food: These mozzarella sticks are a guaranteed hit at any gathering. They’re one of the best party foods, just like our Extra Crispy Smashed Potatoes!
- Kids Love Them: The hubby and kids devour these. It’s one of our favorite appetizer recipes.
