Ingredients
Scale
- 12 pieces string mozzarella cheese (cut in half for 24 pieces)
- 24 square wonton wrappers
- 1 egg (beaten, for sealing)
- Vegetable oil (for frying)
- Marinara sauce (optional, for dipping)
- Optional seasonings: dried oregano, garlic powder, Italian seasoning
Instructions
- Cut mozzarella sticks in half, pat dry to remove moisture.
- Lay one wonton wrapper on a flat surface, place one mozzarella piece in the center.
- Optional: Sprinkle herbs or seasoning on the cheese.
- Brush edges of the wrapper with beaten egg.
- Fold the wrapper over the cheese, fold in sides, then roll tightly to seal completely. Press edges firmly.
- Repeat until all sticks are wrapped.
- Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet to 350°F (175°C).
- Fry wrapped sticks in batches, seam-side down, for 30–45 seconds per side until golden and crispy.
- Remove with a slotted spoon, drain on paper towels.
- Serve immediately with marinara or preferred dip.
Notes
Ensure edges are sealed tightly to prevent cheese leakage.
Do not overcrowd the frying pan to maintain oil temperature.
For a lighter option, bake at 400°F (200°C) for 10–12 minutes instead of frying.
Sticks can be frozen before frying for convenience. Fry directly from frozen, increasing frying time slightly.
