Who doesn't love mozzarella sticks? Sometimes we eat them as a meal for dinner at our house!
These are super quick and easy, and you don't have to worry about store-bought cheese sticks that not only contain gluten but other ingredients you can't even pronounce! GASP!
I like that I can add pecorino cheese or other spices, and it switches them up. My hubby loves spicier versions, so I can easily add some cayenne pepper to the last half of the batch for him.
