FAQ’s

Do I have to freeze the cheese sticks before baking?

I highly recommend freezing your cheese sticks once they are cut into bite sized pieces until they are frozen.  While they don’t have to be as hard as ice they should be quite cold.  This will help keep them inside the breading while baking and not explode all over the place. 

Can I freeze these Oven Baked Mozzarella Bites before baking?

Yes!  If you don’t plan to bake your cheese sticks right away you will want to freeze them until you are ready to bake them.  They will stay fresh in the freezer for a few months if placed in an air tight freezer bag.
