For optimal results, ensure the mozzarella sticks are thoroughly frozen before wrapping with bacon. Adjust cooking time based on your desired level of crispiness. Be cautious not to overcook, as the cheese may burst. Experiment with different bacon flavors, such as maple or hickory smoked, to add unique twists to this delectable snack. Pair with a zesty marinara sauce or a creamy sriracha mayo for dipping.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
30 mins
Assemble your ingredients. Place mozzarella sticks in the freezer until solid, approximately 30 minutes. This ensures the cheese doesn't melt too quickly during frying. (30 minutes)
02
Step
5 mins
Envelop each frozen mozzarella stick with a slice of bacon, ensuring complete coverage by tucking the ends securely. If needed, use toothpicks to keep the bacon in place. (5 minutes)
03
Step
7 mins
Heat avocado oil in a skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Gently place the bacon-wrapped mozzarella sticks in the hot oil, turning periodically to achieve an even golden brown and crispy texture on all sides. (8-10 minutes)
04
StepCarefully remove the fried mozzarella sticks from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess oil. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce, such as marinara or a spicy aioli.
