Ingredients
Scale
- 12 mozzarella sticks
- 12 slices of bacon
- 1 cup of all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 1 cup of breadcrumbs
- Vegetable oil for frying
- Marinara sauce for serving
Instructions
- Freeze the mozzarella sticks for about 30 minutes to prevent melting during cooking.
- Wrap each frozen mozzarella stick in a slice of bacon, ensuring it’s secured tightly.
- Set up a breading station: dip each bacon-wrapped stick into the flour, then into the beaten eggs, and finally coat with breadcrumbs.
- Fry the breaded mozzarella sticks in hot oil for 3-4 minutes until golden brown, then drain on paper towels.

Notes
