Cheese sticks are a popular snack or appetizer typically made by coating slender strips of cheese, often mozzarella, in seasoned breadcrumbs and deep-frying them until golden and crispy. Originating from Italian-American cuisine, these treats deliver a gooey, melty center wrapped in a crunchy exterior. While cheese sticks are an excellent source of calcium and protein, making them beneficial for bone health and muscle repair, they are also high in saturated fats and calories due to the frying process. Consuming them in moderation is recommended as part of a balanced diet. Variations exist, such as baked or air-fried versions, which offer a lighter alternative without sacrificing flavor. Cheese sticks pair well with marinara sauce, adding a tangy complement to their richness, and have become a beloved addition to menus worldwide.
