👨🍳 How To Make
Follow these steps:
Step 1
Freeze the mozzarella cheese sticks overnight.
Step 2
Wrap a slice of bacon around each mozzarella stick. Start at one end and roll the bacon around the cheese stick until you reach the other end. You can secure the bacon with a toothpick if needed.
Step 3
Melt the beef tallow in a skillet (a cast iron skillet works well). Once the tallow is hot, place the bacon-wrapped cheese sticks in the pan.
Step 4
Turn the cheese sticks as each side of the bacon gets crispy.
Step 5
Remove the cheese sticks from the pan and place them on a plate covered with paper towels to absorb any excess grease. Enjoy!
💡Tips
1. Freezing the Mozzarella Sticks
Freezing the mozzarella sticks overnight is an important step in this recipe. This helps the cheese maintain its shape during cooking and prevents it from melting too quickly. If you’re short on time, make sure to freeze the cheese sticks for at least 2-3 hours.
To prevent the cheese sticks from sticking together in the freezer, place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
2. Serving and Customizing
Once your bacon-wrapped mozzarella sticks are cooked to perfection, remove them from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels. This will help absorb any excess grease and keep the bacon crispy.
Let the cheese sticks cool for a minute or two before serving, as the cheese will be extremely hot. You can serve these delectable treats as is, or pair them with your favorite carnivore friendly dipping sauce.
