Mozzarella sticks cooking at home

Cut the Mozzarella into 6 rectangles approximately 5 cm wide and 1.2 cm thick.

In a bowl, combine flour, salt, paprika, and cayenne.

In another bowl, whisk eggs and hot sauce until smooth.

Place breadcrumbs in a third bowl.

One at a time, dredge mozzarella in flour mixture, then dip in eggs and coat in breadcrumbs.

Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and freeze until firm, at least 30 minutes and up to overnight.

Pour a 5 cm thick layer of oil into a large frying pan and heat to 175°C.

Gradually add frozen mozzarella and cook, turning halfway through, until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side.

Transfer to a plate lined with paper towel.
