Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 10 pieces mozzarella string cheese sticks
  • 10 slices bacon
Seasonings
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 0.5 tsp black pepper
Dipping Sauce
  • 100 ml ranch or your favorite dipping sauce for serving

Equipment

  • Toothpicks
  • Wire Rack
  • Baking Sheet

Method
 

  1. Wrap each mozzarella stick tightly with one slice of bacon. Secure with a toothpick.
  2. Place the wrapped cheese sticks on a wire rack over a foil-lined baking sheet.
  3. Sprinkle with garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and black pepper.
  4. Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 18–22 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and golden brown.
  5. Remove from the oven and let them cool for 3–5 minutes so the cheese can set slightly.
  6. Carefully remove the toothpicks and serve warm with ranch or your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

Keep the mozzarella sticks cold until you're ready to wrap them to prevent the cheese from melting too quickly.
