Wonton Mozzarella Sticks
With just 5 ingredients, you can make these mozzarella sticks in just 10 minutes. That’s it. It doesn’t get ANY easier than this!
It’s 5:00PM on a Sunday night, 4 hours until the Breaking Bad series finale. I figured I should write today’s post before I watch it, when I’m level-headed and all, because I may just be in too much shock from the whole thing. This final season has just been absolutely crazy with too many jaw-dropping moments. I can barely sit still knowing that it’s the end today!
But let’s talk about something else. Something more pleasant. Something that’ll keep me from sweating bullets for 85 minutes. Like these mozzarella sticks. Yes, crisp, fried wonton-wrapped mozzarella sticks. With warm, chunky marinara dipping sauce.
These mozzarella sticks come together in just 10 minutes with only 3 main ingredients – string cheese, wonton wrappers and marinara sauce. Feel free to use homemade or store-bought marinara sauce – whichever is easiest for you. We had chicken parmesan for dinner last night so we had a ton of marinara sauce to use up. Either way, these mozzarella sticks are so incredibly easy to make and absolutely perfect for game day, snacking or a dinner substitute!
Wonton Mozzarella Sticks
Ingredients
- 1 cup vegetable oil
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 4 string cheese, halved
- 8 wonton wrappers
- ½ cup marinara sauce, homemade or store-bought
Instructions
- Heat vegetable oil in a medium skillet to 325 degrees F.
- In a small bowl, whisk together egg and 1 tablespoon water.
- Working one at a time, brush wonton wrapper with egg wash; place string cheese in the center of each wrapper. Bring the bottom edge of the wrap tightly over the cheese, rolling from bottom to top until the top of the sheet is reached, being careful not to tear the wrapper. Repeat with remaining wrappers and string cheese.
- Add string cheese to the skillet and cook until golden brown and crispy, about 1-2 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
- Serve immediately with marinara sauce, if desired.

Totally genius! I am totally making these for my husband this weekend – he will bow before me 🙂 Pinned!
Beautiful pictures! I want to dive right into that sauce! Love this idea for cheese sticks and how quick they are!
I just watched the finale! I binge watched all the seasons earlier this year on Netflix and just caught up with season 5. Insane. Now I need a new show!
And some of these delicious cheesy sticks!
Love these mozzarella sticks!!! They look crispy and gooey, stringy cheesy on the inside – which is just perfect!!!
Did you fold all the corners in like you would an egg-roll? Or did you lay them straight and leave the ends open? Sounds delicious.
I folded the corners in like an egg roll.
Thank god you didn’t spoil the finale, we’re still on season 5. These mozz sticks look awesome, but then why wouldn’t they with a hand model like that? Nice work boyfriend.
I hope you finish Breaking Bad soon – with all this hype, I feel like the ending is going to come out sooner or later!
I haven’t gotten into breaking bad (yet) but it’s next on our to-watch list! I foresee myself stress eating quite a few of these during those episodes!
What a great idea! Also perfect for parties!
Thank you for sharing!
Cheers..
Great idea with the wrappers! Looks fabulous with the marinara sauce!
I loved the finale! And I love these – I would love one right now!
Did you watch the finale? I thought it was SO good. I was on pins and needles the whole season, too. 🙂 Wish I’d had some of these AMAZING-looking mozzarella sticks to accompany me last night!
I thought the finale was absolutely perfect! I definitely bawled my eyes out too.
Oh man, I bet these taste absolutely amazing!! I can’t wait to taste these 🙂
I hope the finale lived up to your expectations. I am probable the last person yet to see Breaking Bad but I’m about to fix that soon. I love how easy these are…what a great idea!!
I swear I’m the only person on the PLANET who has never seen that show! Haha! But as for these babies? Well, you had me at cheese! 😉
oh my! love love love mozzarella sticks! These look sooo good. Using the wanton wrappers looks so much better than bread crumbed. Beautiful photography!
Could you air fry them instead? I still want them to be crispy, so I’m not sure if that would do the trick.
I’m a sucker for anything deep fried. YUM.
Ummm, this is a genius idea! Definitely filing this away to make ASAP 🙂
This is such a good idea! Love it 🙂
These look incredible, such a crowd pleaser too!
I am another one of those few that hasn’t watched Breaking Bad. I seriously need to watch it, at least the reruns lol. And I seriously need to make these mozzarella sticks!
