If you haven't watched the video already, do so NOW. I can talk all day about these mozzarella stick waffles but nothing will sell them quite like seeing the cheese sizzle in the waffle iron. Within seconds you'll find your mouth watering and your mind absolutely crazed. All you'll be able to think about is how to eat these waffles as soon as humanly possible.

The good news is that it's perfectly possible to have them soon … like within 20 minutes. The recipe is so fabulously easy. Once you dredge mozzarella sticks in flour, eggs then bread crumbs, all they need is 4 to 5 minutes in the waffle iron. In comparison, baked mozz sticks take about 20 minutes in the oven. Fried, they cook quickly, but you need to deal with hassle and pain of frying. And don't even get me started about frozen then microwaved mozzarella sticks. You just don't want those.

Don't worry if you don't have a square waffle iron. A circular one works just as well! We tested the waffles using both kinds. Also don't pay too close of attention to my instructions for how many mozzarella sticks to put in the iron at once. Just add as many that will fit.

If you're wondering if you need to freeze the mozzarella sticks before cooking, the answer is no. It probably helps a little bit, but it doesn't make a noticeable difference. There will be some exploding cheese, but everything will be okay. Actually more than okay.
