Instructions

  1. Cut mozzarella sticks in half.
  2. Whisk eggs with 1 tablespoon water. In a separate bowl combine bread crumbs, Panko bread crumbs, vegetable oil, and garlic powder. Place flour in a 3rd bowl and season with salt & pepper.
  3. Dip each mozzarella stick into the eggs and then into the flour mixture. Dip back into the eggs and finally into the bread crumb mixture.
  4. Place on a baking sheet and freeze at least 30 minutes (or up to 6 months).
  5. Preheat air fryer to 390°F.
  6. Generously spray mozzarella sticks with oil or cooking spray. Place in the air fryer basket in a single layer and cook for 5-7 minutes or until crisp.
  7. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • No Air Fryer? No Problem! These can be baked in a preheated oven at 400°F for 9-11 minutes. 
  • These are frozen before cooking to allow the crumbs to crisp up without the cheese melting out.
  • Be sure to preheat the air fryer and keep in mind that air fryers can vary. Check them early at about 4 minutes. Once you see cheese starting to bubble, they're ready. 
  • Purchased frozen mozzarella sticks will cook for about 5-7 minutes at 390°F.
