🧀 Carnivore Mozzarella Sticks recipe 

Ingredients (makes 6–8 sticks)

  • 8 oz mozzarella cheese (string cheese or block)

  • 2 large eggs

  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese (or mix Parmesan + pork rind powder for extra crisp)

  • ½ tsp garlic powder (optional)

  • ½ tsp smoked paprika (optional)

  • Pinch of salt

  • 2–3 tbsp butter or ghee (for frying)

🔥 Instructions

1️⃣ Prepare the Cheese

  1. Cut mozzarella into stick shapes (about ½–¾ inch thick, 3–4 inches long).

  2. Freeze the sticks for 15–20 minutes — this prevents the cheese from melting too quickly while cooking.

2️⃣ Prepare the Coating

  1. In a bowl, whisk eggs until smooth.

  2. In another bowl, mix Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and salt.

3️⃣ Coat the Mozzarella

  1. Dip each frozen cheese stick into the egg, then roll in the Parmesan mixture until fully coated.

  2. For extra crunch, repeat the egg + Parmesan coating 2 times.

4️⃣ Cook the Sticks

Option 1: Pan-Fry (recommended for crispiness)

  1. Heat butter or ghee in a skillet over medium heat.

  2. Fry sticks 2–3 minutes per side, turning carefully until golden and crispy.

Option 2: Air Fry

  1. Preheat air fryer to 400°F (200°C).

  2. Place sticks in the basket, cook 5–6 minutes, flipping halfway.

5️⃣ Serve

  • Serve immediately while hot and melty.

  • Optional: sprinkle extra Parmesan or a pinch of smoked paprika on top.
