Notes
1.4 NET CARBS PER MOZZARELLA STICK
You can use string cheese instead of a block of mozzarella
Ways to cook them include pan-frying, baking, and air frying
Double breading the mozzarella sticks is key, don’t skip this step
Freezing them before frying them is also very important, it will help prevent the cheese from melting through
If frying, don’t get the oil too high otherwise they will burn without the cheese melting inside.
Mozzarella sticks can be made ahead of time and frozen, make sure to freeze before cooking.
