Crispy Cheese Sticks

Prep: 10 min Cook: 10 min Total: 20 min Serves 4 Easy

Mozzarella sticks wrapped in phyllo dough and panko — an irresistible stretchy cheese pull inside a shatter-crisp shell.

Instructions

  1. 1

    Using a sharp knife, cut the mozzarella block into sticks about 1–1.5 cm thick.

  2. 2

    Wrap each mozzarella stick tightly in a sheet of phyllo dough — this will crisp up into an extra-flaky outer layer.

  3. 3

    Set up a breading station: beaten egg in one bowl, panko breadcrumbs in another.

  4. 4

    Dip each wrapped stick in egg (fully coat), then roll in panko.

  5. 5

    Air fry at 180 °C for 10 minutes until crisp and golden.

    10:00
  6. 6

    Let cool for a minute, then break one open to reveal the stretchy cheese pull.
