Mozzarella sticks are a popular appetizer originating from Italian-American cuisine, featuring flavorful mozzarella cheese encased in a crispy, golden coating. The cheese is typically cut into stick shapes, dipped in egg wash, rolled in seasoned breadcrumbs or batter, and deep-fried to achieve a crunchy texture outside with a gooey, melted interior. They offer a satisfying combination of creamy dairy and rich flavors, often served with marinara sauce for dipping. While mozzarella sticks can be a source of calcium and protein from the cheese, they are typically high in saturated fat, sodium, and calories due to the frying process. They are considered an indulgent treat rather than a health-conscious snack. Baked versions and alternative coating options are sometimes available for those seeking a lighter variation of this classic comfort food. Mozzarella sticks are widely enjoyed across the world as a sharable, fun, and flavorful dish.
