Fried Cheese Sticks are a popular appetizer or snack, primarily associated with American cuisine, though variations exist globally. They're made by coating sticks of mozzarella or other semi-hard cheeses in breadcrumbs or batter, typically seasoned with herbs and spices, then deep-fried until golden and crispy. The result is a warm, gooey interior encased in a crunchy exterior. While they provide calcium and protein from the cheese, they are high in calories, saturated fats, and sodium due to the frying process and breadcrumb coating. Additionally, they are often served with dipping sauces like marinara, adding to their caloric and sodium content. Fried Cheese Sticks are a flavorful treat best enjoyed in moderation, as part of a balanced diet.
