Today I’m sharing a SUPER simple recipe for baked mozzarella sticks – this one’s got a unique twist to it since we’re using egg roll wrappers instead of breading! These are so simple to make, requires minimal clean up and is ready to go in about 20 minutes total!
You Will Need:
- 12 pcs. Low Moisture Mozzarella String Cheese
- 12 Eggroll Wrappers (can usually be found in the refrigerated section near tofu)
- 1 1/2 tbsp olive oil
- Garlic Powder, to taste (OR garlic salt, OR just salt and pepper).
- Small bowl of water
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Lightly brush baking sheet with olive oil. Lay out egg roll wrappers and lightly brush the entire wrapper with water.
Lightly sprinkle garlic powder (Or seasoning of choice!) over egg roll wrapper (less is more). We’ve tried this a few different ways and I like garlic powder best or just a sprinkling of salt and pepper. My husband prefers garlic salt or salt and pepper. So really, it’s up to you! This step is just for an extra hint of flavor, so have fun with it!
Place mozzarella diagonally across wrapper, being sure that the mozzarella is lining up with two edges. Bring both edges over cheese. Hold ends in place with one hand, and bring the wrapper over the mozzarella, tucking in slightly underneath cheese in order to roll firmly.
Tightly roll remaining egg roll wrapper over mozzarella. Add a dab of water to edges to moisten if necessary (this will seal the wrapper).
Repeat until all pieces of mozzarella are wrapped. Lightly brush tops with olive oil. Lightly sprinkle tops with garlic powder (or seasoning of choice). Transfer to baking sheet.
Bake for 8 to 12 minutes, being sure to watch closely starting around the 7 minute mark, to make sure that the cheese hasn’t popped through. If a couple have broken through, remove from oven.
Let cool. Serve with marinara.

I made these tonight for a party. They were a HUGE hit!! They do not brown well or get firm well in an electric oven. I imagine they will do much better in a gas oven. We are going to try them one time in an air fryer too. Thank you for posting this!! They are on my party food list from now on!!
I’ve been looking for a healthier alternative and I’ve found it. I made these for my roommate and I and we both love them. Thanks for the simple and great recipe! I’ll definitely be keeping this in my rotation.
These look absolutely delicious and pair perfectly with the Red Baron pizzas. Thanks for sharing this recipe! #client
