  • Author: Sophia Turner
  • Total Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients

– 12 mozzarella sticks
– 12 slices of thick-cut bacon
– 1 cup all-purpose flour
– 2 large eggs
– 1 cup breadcrumbs
– 1 tablespoon Nashville hot seasoning (adjust to taste)
– Vegetable oil for frying
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Dipping sauce of your choice (ranch or marinara recommended)


Instructions

Creating Nashville Hot Bacon Wrapped Mozzarella Sticks can be a fun experience when you follow these simple steps:

1. Prep the Ingredients: Cut each mozzarella stick in half if desired for shorter pieces.
2. Wrap with Bacon: Take a slice of bacon and carefully wrap it around each mozzarella stick. Secure the ends with toothpicks if necessary.
3. Prepare the Breading Station: In one bowl, place the flour; in another, whisk the eggs; and in a third, combine breadcrumbs with Nashville hot seasoning, salt, and pepper.
4. Bread the Sticks: Dip each bacon-wrapped mozzarella stick first in flour, then in egg, followed by breadcrumb mixture until fully coated.
5. Heat the Oil: In a large frying pan, heat vegetable oil over medium heat until hot.
6. Fry: Carefully add the breaded sticks to the oil in batches, cooking until the bacon is crispy and golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.
7. Drain: Use a slotted spoon to remove the sticks from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.
8. Cool: Let the sticks cool for a few minutes before serving.
9. Remove Toothpicks: If you used toothpicks, remove them before serving.
10. Serve: Arrange on a platter along with your favorite dipping sauce.

By following these straightforward steps, you’ll create an amazing appetizer that everyone will love!
