Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces fresh spinach, chopped
  • 1 cup cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 package (12 ounces) mozzarella string cheese sticks
  • 1 cup Italian-style breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • Vegetable oil, for frying

Instructions

  1. Combine the chopped spinach, cream cheese, mozzarella cheese, sour cream, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper in a large bowl. Mix until well combined.
  2. Cut each mozzarella string cheese stick in half. Take a portion of the spinach mixture and wrap it around each cheese stick, covering it completely. Repeat with all cheese sticks.
  3. Place the flour, beaten eggs, and breadcrumbs in three separate shallow dishes. Dip each wrapped cheese stick first in the flour, then in the beaten eggs, and finally coat it with breadcrumbs. Set aside on a plate.
  4. Heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat until hot (about 350°F).
  5. Carefully add the breaded mozzarella sticks to the hot oil in batches, frying for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
  6. Serve warm with marinara sauce or your favorite dipping sauce.
