Mozzarella sticks
Salty, crisp coating around stretchy, mild melted cheese.
Lens analyzedMozzarella sticks are mozzarella cheese cut into logs, breaded, and frozen, meant to turn gooey inside with a crisp shell once fried or baked. The breading needs to fully seal the cheese, since any gap can let it leak out during cooking.
Where it comes from
Breaded fried cheese snacks became popular in American bars and restaurants in the late 1900s, and frozen versions followed soon after so people could make them at home.
Buying it
Check the breading coverage — it should look even with no bare cheese patches showing through, which helps prevent leaks when frying.
Storing it
Keep the box sealed in the freezer and cook from frozen rather than thawing first, since thawed sticks tend to burst open in the fryer.
Keeps about 6 months in the freezer.
