Fried Mozzarella Sticks

Appetisers and Entertaining
Written By Daniella Mendicino

Aka my idea of heaven!!!

These fried mozzarella sticks remind me of when I was little, and they’re a classic American appetiser that most of their “American” style restaurants serve and they are sooooo good!

They’re a bit on the cheeky side, but if you love cheese, then you must try them because fried cheese is just the best!

Served with a “pasta sauce” dipping sauce, it’s an appetiser your whole family will love!
