Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Bread each mozzarella piece in flour, then egg, then seasoned breadcrumbs, pressing firmly so the coating sticks.

  2. Step 2

    For a thicker crust, repeat the egg and breadcrumb coating, then place the sticks on a tray.

  3. Step 3

    Freeze for at least 30 minutes so the cheese stays inside while the outside crisps.

  4. Step 4

    Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees F on the CHIPS preset.

  5. Step 5

    Air fry in a single layer for 6-8 minutes until golden, stopping before the cheese leaks heavily.

  6. Step 6

    Serve immediately with warm marinara sauce for the best pull-apart texture.
