Cheese sticks are a popular snack made by coating strips of cheese, typically mozzarella, in seasoned breadcrumbs and frying them until golden and crispy. Originating from Italian-American cuisine, they have become a staple appetizer in many restaurants and a comfort food for cheese lovers worldwide. Packed with calcium and protein due to the cheese, they offer nutritional benefits for bone health and muscle maintenance. However, cheese sticks are often high in saturated fat and sodium, and the frying process adds extra calories and unhealthy fats. For a healthier alternative, they can be baked or air-fried instead of deep-fried. Ideal for sharing, cheese sticks are best enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
