Ingredients
- 6 Mozzarella Cheese Sticks
- 6 slices of bacon
- 1 cup approx 1 cup avocado oil for frying depending on the size of your frying pan.
Instructions
-
Freeze the mozzarella cheese sticks overnight.
-
Wrap a slice of bacon around each cheese stick, starting at one end and rolling carefully until the other end. I wrapped the bacon around the ends and secured it in place with a toothpick. I tried to minimally overlap the bacon so that all of it would get crispy.
-
Heat about 1/2 inch of avocado oil in a cast iron or regular skillet.
.
-
Carefully place bacon-wrapped cheese stick in a frying pan and turn as each side gets brown and crispy so that the bacon cooks on all sides.
-
Remove from oil when the bacon is crispy and brown on all sides and place on a plate covered with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
-
Enjoy!
Notes
I included 1/4 of the avocado oil in the nutritional information as most of it was left in the pan.
