Now that you have recovered a bit, I hope, let’s move on to how easy these are to make! It is so easy to bread anything really, you have no reason not to make these for your Super Bowl party. They pair well with anything else you plan to serve and are sure to please any crowd. Just set up your breading stations and bread all the cheese stick before your guests arrive, then at the last minute just heat the oil and fry them up in small batches just in time to be in front of the tv for kickoff.
These are crunchy on the outside and oozing on the inside. The herbs de provence in the breadcrumbs adds a nice flavor to them without overpowering the cheese. I like to just pair with my favorite store bought marinara to make things even easier. I also recommend using a decent mozzarella, you don’t have to go with the nicest cheese available but using a good fresh mozzarella will improve the taste for sure!
Mozzarella sticks for a super bowl party go all the way back when I was hosting my very first super bowl party. I was in college and my best friend and I were obsessed with food network and Rachael Ray. We saw an episode where she made Fried Mozzarella Balls and thought we should make those for our party. (along with so much other food that I can’t remember, we always made too much food for any party) So we breaded and fried all the mozzarella balls and stacked them into a pile, when we were ready to serve them they had all melted into one giant blob of fried cheese! We ended up eating it anyways and honestly…it was still delicious. But this year, I set out to redeem myself.
