Ingredients
  

  • 8 mozzarella string cheese sticks
  • 8 slices of bacon

Instructions
 

Prepare the Mozzarella Sticks:

  • Unwrap the mozzarella sticks and cut each in half to create 16 pieces.

  • Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
  • Place the bacon-wrapped mozzarella sticks in the skillet, seam side down.
  • Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the bacon is crispy and the cheese is just starting to melt.
  • o Air Fryer Method:
  • Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
  • Place the bacon-wrapped mozzarella sticks in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
  • Cook for 5-6 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy.

Serve:

  • Remove the toothpicks, if used.
  • Serve immediately.

pepper flakes before wrapping with bacon
