Mozzarella Sticks

SOOO I made these tonight and yes they are super yummy and Kurtis' new favorite food! And trust me, you must use the panko bread crumbs. I got them at Trader Joe's but I think I have seen them at Sunflower Market as well!!


  • 16 pieces String Cheese, Removed From Wrappers
  • ½ cups All-purpose Flour
  • 2 whole Eggs
  • 3 Tablespoons Milk
  • 1 Tablespoon Dried Parsley Flakes
  • Canola Oil, For Frying
  • Marinara Sauce, For Dipping
  • 2 cups Panko Bread Crumbs

Preparation Instructions

Slice string cheese pieces in half, for a total of 32 pieces.

Place flour in a small bowl.

In a separate bowl, whisk eggs and milk.

In another separate bowl, combine panko bread crumbs with parsley flakes.

TO ASSEMBLE: One by one, roll mozzarella sticks in flour, then dunk in egg/milk mixture, then place in panko crumbs. Use your hand to sweep crumbs all over the mozzarella stick. Gently remove and place on a tray or cookie sheet. Repeat until all mozzarella sticks are coated.

***Place tray in freezer for 20 to 30 minutes to flash freeze.***

TO COOK: Heat 1 1/2 inches canola oil in a large skillet over medium heat. When hot, add mozzarella sticks 8 at a time. Watch closely and turn over to evenly brown, cooking less than 2 minutes. Do not allow cheese to bubble and leak.

Remove to a paper towel-lined plate.

Serve immediately with warm marinara sauce.

sounds yummy! you can also get panko bread crumbs at walmart and other grocery stores, at least I have been able to do that here in texas recently. FYI if you use the same concept for chicken parmesean it is super yummy!
