Bacon-Wrapped Mozzarella Sticks

Bacon-Wrapped Mozzarella Sticks

Rating 

Depending on your brand of mozzarella sticks, they might take a lot longer (or shorter) to get melty in the oven. Keep eye on them, and start checking at around 4 minutes. Happy snacking!
Ingredients
  • 12 sticks string cheese
  • 12 slices bacon
  • 2 tsp. Italian seasoning
  • Marinara, for serving
Instructions
  1. Unwrap string cheese and place on a plate or small baking sheet. Freeze until solid, 4 hours up to overnight.
  2. Preheat oven to 400° and line a medium baking sheet with foil. Place bacon in an even layer and sprinkle with Italian seasoning. Bake until slightly crisp but still bendable, 12 to 15 minutes.
  3. Remove bacon from oven and let cool slightly. Line a small baking sheet with foil.
  4. Wrap each frozen stick of string cheese with 1 strip bacon. Place on prepared baking sheet and bake until bacon is crisp and string cheese is just starting to melt, 5 to 7 minutes.
  5. Serve with marinara on the side for dipping.
