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.

They look fantastic.
I am such a sucker for mozzarella sticks. And wrapped in a wonton shell? Oh my. This sounds better than perfect to me!
oh yum! fried or baked cheese is always welcome at my place.
I love the idea of the crunchy wonton and the melty cheese inside! Must have these soon!!!
I wish I could share this with you, Jocelyn – you would love this!
No Stephanie I haven’t watched it either LOL
These look great – but I’m guessing it should be four string cheese, halved?
Gotta pick up some wonton skins . . . yum!
I haven’t watched Breaking Bad yet. I might be the only person left on earth. We are going to watch it as soon we finish re-watching Desperate Housewives, lol.
These are such a great idea!! And as always, love the photos!
I have watched Breaking Bad over the Summer, and then to clear my mind from drugs and violence, I have started The West Wing series. Have been amazed at how contemporary and relative it is to our world today. We should have elected Jed Bartlett as president instead of Obama.
Sad that some people feel the need to make politics the only thing in their “life”.
