Description

Whether you're serving them as a snack, appetizer, or party favorite, this copycat Arby’s Mozzarella Sticks recipe is easy, cheesy, and totally irresistible.

Ingredients 

  • 12 mozzarella string cheese sticks, Cut in half
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 1 tablespoon milk
  • 1 cup Italian-style breadcrumbs
  • ½ cup panko breadcrumbs
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  • Set up three bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs and milk, and one with a mix of Italian breadcrumbs, panko, garlic powder, and pepper.
  • Coat each mozzarella stick in flour, then dip in the egg mixture, then roll in the breadcrumb mixture. For extra crunch, repeat the egg and breadcrumb step for a second layer.
  • Place breaded sticks on a parchment-lined tray and freeze for at least 1 hour. This keeps the cheese from melting too fast when cooking.
  • Air Fryer: Preheat to 390°F, spray sticks with oil, and air fry for 5–7 minutes until golden.
  • Deep Fryer: Heat oil to 350°F and fry for 1–2 minutes until crisp.
  • Oven: Bake at 400°F for 8–10 minutes, flipping halfway. Spray with oil for best results.
  • Pair with warm marinara or your favorite dipping sauce and enjoy!

Equipment

  • Cooking Spray
  • Parchment Paper, optional
