Creating Nashville Hot Bacon Wrapped Mozzarella Sticks is simple when you follow these steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Prepare the Mozzarella Sticks: Place the mozzarella sticks in the freezer for about 30 minutes. This helps them hold their shape while cooking.
3. Wrap in Bacon: Take a slice of bacon and wrap it around each frozen mozzarella stick, ensuring it’s fully covered. Secure with a toothpick if needed.
4. Set Up Breading Station:
– In a bowl, place the all-purpose flour.
– In another bowl, beat the eggs.
– In a third bowl, combine the breadcrumbs and Nashville hot seasoning.
5. Bread the Mozzarella Sticks:
– Dredge each bacon-wrapped stick in flour, making sure to coat it well.
– Dip it into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off.
– Finally, coat it in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing lightly to adhere.
6. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the breaded sticks on the prepared baking sheet. Spray lightly with cooking spray or drizzle with oil for extra crispiness.
7. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the bacon is crispy and the cheese is melted.
8. Cool Slightly: Once done, remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. This will help the cheese set slightly, making them easier to handle.
9. Serve: Transfer the mozzarella sticks to a serving platter.
