Homemade Mozzarella Sticks Recipe

These delicious Homemade Mozzarella Sticks are perfect for a night of indulging!

Mozzarella Sticks is my all-time favorite appetizer, and I never realized how easy it was to make until quarantine 2020 happened.

I have fond memories of eating it during lunch in high school, it wasn’t very good but I enjoyed it for some reason.

Now I prefer a more gourmet version of cheese sticks but the love remains the same for this staple.

We don’t have these very often as they pack quite the calorie punch, but occasionally they make delicious treats. Quarantine made me do it.

I promise to take a better photo next time I make them, It’s usually way too dark when the mood strikes!

These can be made ahead of time and kept frozen, no need to defrost.
