For an extra crispy coating, consider double-breading the cheese sticks: flour, egg, breadcrumbs, then repeat. Ensure the cheese sticks are thoroughly frozen before breading to prevent them from melting too quickly during baking. Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor. Pair with marinara sauce or your favorite dipping sauce.

01
StepPreheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). (5 minutes)
