Listen up, mozzarella cheese stick fans!
If you’re in the mood for a delicious melted cheese snack, you’ve gotta try making breaded mozzarella sticks in the air fryer! They’re super easy and fun to make, and they’re such a yummy snack or appetizer.
It’s no secret, I’m obsessed with my air fryer!

One of the first recipes I tried straight out of the box were these Mozzarella Cheese Sticks, and my kids loved them!
Air Fryer Mozzarella Cheese Sticks Recipe
yield: 6 SERVINGS
prep time: 60 MINUTES
cook time: 10 MINUTES
total time: 1 HOUR 10 MINUTES
Ingredients
- 6 mozzarella cheese sticks
- 1/2 cup seasoned Italian breadcrumbs
- 1 egg
- 3 tablespoons milk
- 1/2 cup flour
Directions
1
Cut mozzarella cheese sticks in half.
2
Place bread crumbs in a bowl. Place flour in a separate bowl. Mix the egg and milk together and put in another bowl.

Dip cheese sticks in flour, then egg, and finally bread crumbs.
4
Lay cheese sticks on a cookie sheet and place in freezer for 1-2 hours or until solid.
5
Place breaded sticks in the fry basket, without overcrowding.
6
Optional but yummy: Mist the sticks with some cooking oil so they'll crisp up beautifully.
7
Set cook time for 10 minutes at 400 degrees. Note: I tried 12 minutes, and mine were a little well done so maybe check at 10 minutes to see if done. (Makes 12 cheese sticks.)
