You'll never buy frozen mozzarella sticks again once you make them at home. This easy fried mozzarella sticks recipe brings cheese to a new level of yumminess. Once fried to golden perfection, they have a light crust that's just thick enough to hold in the gooey cheese. Snacking on game day will get a lot tastier when you serve these homemade mozzarella sticks with a little pizza sauce on the side. Yum!
