Ingredients
  

12 mozzarella sticks

12 slices of bacon (thick-cut preferred)

1 cup all-purpose flour

2 large eggs

1 cup breadcrumbs (Italian-style for extra flavor)

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

½ teaspoon paprika

½ teaspoon black pepper

1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Marinara sauce (for dipping)

Instructions
 

Preparation: Begin by freezing mozzarella sticks for about 30 minutes. This will help them hold their shape during the frying process.

    Bacon Wrapping: While the cheese is freezing, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Take each bacon slice and cut it in half. Wrap each mozzarella stick tightly with a piece of bacon, ensuring to cover it entirely. Place the wrapped sticks seam-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

      Breading Station: Set up a breading station with three bowls: one for flour, one for beaten eggs, and one for breadcrumbs mixed with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and black pepper.

        Coating the Sticks: Once you've wrapped all the mozzarella sticks in bacon, roll each stick in the flour, then dip it in the beaten eggs, and finally coat it with the seasoned breadcrumbs. Ensure they are well coated.

          Baking: Arrange the bacon-wrapped, breaded mozzarella sticks on the baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and the cheese is melting.

            Serving: Remove from the oven and let them cool for a minute. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve with warm marinara sauce on the side for dipping.
