- 500 g mozzarella cheese
- 1 large egg
- 1 tbsp water
- 2 cups breadcrumbs
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- ¾ cup oil reserved from frying
- ¼ cup cayenne pepper
- 1 tbsp smoked paprika
- 2 tsp chili powder
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp salt
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- ¼ cup Greek yogurt
- ¼ cup milk or buttermilk
- 2 tsp finely chopped fresh chives
- 1 tsp Italian herbs
- 1 tsp white vinegar or lemon juice
- ¼ tsp garlic powder
- ¼ tsp onion powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- Prepare the Mozzarella Sticks: Slice the mozzarella into sticks about 3×2 inches. In a small bowl, whisk the egg with water to make an egg wash. On a plate, mix breadcrumbs with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until evenly combined. Dip each mozzarella stick in the egg wash, then coat with the breadcrumb mixture. Repeat the egg wash and breadcrumb layer once more for an extra crispy crust. Arrange the sticks on a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze for 1 hour to help them hold their shape while frying.
- Make the Ranch Dressing: In a bowl, combine mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, milk (or buttermilk), chives, Italian herbs, vinegar (or lemon juice), garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth and refrigerate until ready to serve.
- Prepare the Nashville Hot Sauce: Heat the reserved frying oil in a pan over medium heat. Fry the mozzarella sticks in batches until golden brown on all sides. Transfer to a cooling rack to drain any excess oil. In a separate bowl, combine cayenne pepper, smoked paprika, chili powder, brown sugar, garlic powder, and salt. Carefully pour the hot oil over the spice mixture and stir until well blended. Brush the spicy oil over the fried mozzarella sticks, making sure each stick is evenly coated. Serve immediately with the homemade ranch dressing for dipping and enjoy the cheesy, fiery goodness!
