Learn how to make delicious Cheesy Bacon-Wrapped Mozzarella Sticks. Easy recipe with step-by-step instructions.
Total Time:45 minutes
Yield:4 servings
Ingredients
12 mozzarella sticks
12 slices of bacon
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 large eggs
1 cup breadcrumbs
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon chili flakes (optional)
Salt and pepper to taste
Oil for frying
Instructions
Begin by setting up your breading station. Place the flour in one shallow bowl, beat the eggs in another, and combine breadcrumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, and chili flakes in a third bowl.
Wrap each mozzarella stick with a slice of bacon, ensuring the cheese is completely covered to prevent it from melting out during frying. Secure with a toothpick if necessary.
Dredge each bacon-wrapped mozzarella stick in the flour, shaking off the excess. Then dip into the beaten eggs, followed by the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat until it reaches 350°F. A small piece of bread should sizzle and turn golden in about 30 seconds when the oil is ready.
Fry the mozzarella sticks in batches, turning occasionally, until the bacon is crispy and the breadcrumbs are golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per batch.
Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Sprinkle with a little salt while still hot.
