Step 1

Cut the mozzarella sticks in half and then place the mozzarella sticks on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet (that will fit in your freezer), freeze for about 20 to 25 minutes until they are frozen solid.

Step 2

Once they are frozen solid, set up your breading station. In one bowl, add the flour. In another bowl, add the eggs, and beat them until frothy. And in the last bowl, add the bread crumbs, cheese, and seasonings, mix well.

Step 3

Coat your mozzarella sticks, first in the flour, then in the egg wash, and finally in the bread crumb mixture. As you bread them, place them back on the parchment paper-lined baking sheet.

Step 4

Set the time for 5 to 8 minutes, at 400 degrees F, air fryer setting.

Step 5

Plate, serve, and enjoy!
