Signature Select Mozzarella Sticks
What it is
These are breaded mozzarella cheese sticks, designed for quick preparation. They are typically frozen to maintain freshness and texture until they are cooked. The cheese inside is mozzarella, known for its mild flavor and its ability to melt and stretch when heated. The outer coating provides a crispy contrast to the soft, gooey cheese.
How people cook with it

To prepare, these mozzarella sticks are usually baked in an oven or cooked in an air fryer until they are golden brown and the cheese is melted. They can also be fried, though baking or air frying is often preferred for convenience and a less greasy result. Ensure they are heated thoroughly before serving to achieve the best texture and melt. They are best served immediately after cooking.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to fresh mozzarella, these sticks have a breaded coating that becomes crispy when cooked. The cheese inside is also typically a lower-moisture variety, which helps it hold its shape better during freezing and cooking before melting.

How to keep the rest
Keep these mozzarella sticks frozen until ready to use. Store them in the freezer compartment of your refrigerator. Once opened, reseal the packaging tightly to prevent freezer burn and maintain quality. Do not refreeze if thawed.
