Mozzarella sticks are a popular appetizer or snack made by coating mozzarella cheese in seasoned breadcrumbs and deep-frying until golden and crispy. Originating from Italian-American cuisine, they offer a combination of creamy, melted cheese encased in a crunchy exterior, often served with marinara sauce for dipping. Key ingredients include mozzarella cheese, eggs, flour, and breadcrumbs, with variations in seasoning depending on the recipe. While they provide calcium and protein from the cheese, mozzarella sticks are high in saturated fats and calories due to frying. They are also typically high in sodium, depending on the seasoning and dipping sauces. Moderation is recommended when incorporating mozzarella sticks into your diet, as excessive consumption may contribute to unhealthy fat and calorie intake. For a lighter alternative, baked versions can reduce fat content while maintaining flavor and texture.
