Ingredients
  

12 mozzarella sticks

12 strips of bacon

1 cup all-purpose flour

2 large eggs

1 cup breadcrumbs

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Salt and pepper to taste

Cooking spray or oil for frying

Marinara sauce for dipping (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

    Prepare the Mozzarella Sticks: Freeze the mozzarella sticks for about 30 minutes to firm them up for wrapping.

      Wrap with Bacon: Take one mozzarella stick and carefully wrap it with a strip of bacon. Ensure the bacon overlaps slightly for full coverage. Secure with toothpicks if needed.

        Prepare the Breading Station: Set up three shallow bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs mixed with garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.

          Bread the Bacon-Wrapped Sticks: Dip each bacon-wrapped mozzarella stick first in flour, then in the egg, and finally coat it with the breadcrumb mixture.

            Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the coated sticks on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Make sure they aren’t touching.

              Spray and Bake: Lightly spray the sticks with cooking spray or drizzle a bit of oil over them for extra crispiness. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the bacon is crispy and the cheese is melted.

                Serve and Enjoy: Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, and enjoy your delicious bacon-wrapped mozzarella sticks with marinara sauce for dipping!
