You don’t need a deep fryer or a restaurant – quality hood. You just need to love mozzarella sticks and gather a little courage if you’ve never done deep frying before. Once you dive into this mozzarella stick recipe, though, you’ll probably be surprised by how simple they really are to make. And the best reason to make mozzarella sticks at home—Other than freshness, obviously—is that you can make sure that you’re eating the very best mozzarella sticks out there because you get to control the whole mozzarella stick-making process! There’s nothing worse than craving all of the deep-fried, crispy-crunchy, gooey-salty, cheesy greatness of a perfect mozzarella stick and excitedly getting an order of them only to find that you’re faced with a dreaded pile of mediocre, lukewarm, soggy mozzarella sticks. That’s a disappointment that simply will not stand! Make them at home and you can banish that horrid mozzarella stick sadness for good.
Freezing mozzarella sticks before you fry them is essential! Do not skip this step. Why? Because if you were to drop a mozzarella stick right into the boiling oil, the coating would come off and the mozzarella stick would basically completely disintegrate before your eyes. Freezing allows the crispy panko-and-egg coating to really solidify and get sturdy so that when it hits the oil it can withstand all of that heat.
