Spicy Nashville Hot Bacon Wrapped Mozzarella Treats

Nashville Hot Bacon Wrapped Mozzarella Sticks made approachable with clear cues, pantry staples, and flexible swaps.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound mozzarella sticks
  • 8 slices of bacon
  • 1/4 cup Nashville hot chicken seasoning
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • Vegetable oil for frying

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Wrap each mozzarella stick with a slice of bacon tightly, securing the ends with toothpicks if necessary.
  3. In a shallow dish, mix the flour with some Nashville hot seasoning to enhance the flavor.
  4. In another bowl, beat the eggs with a splash of water until well combined.
  5. Dredge the bacon-wrapped mozzarella sticks in the seasoned flour, then dip in egg, and coat with breadcrumbs.
  6. Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or a heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
  7. Carefully lower the coated mozzarella sticks into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid crowding.
  8. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 3–4 minutes, then remove and drain on paper towels.
  9. Once drained, toss the mozzarella sticks in remaining Nashville hot seasoning for an extra kick.
  10. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauces.
