Baked Bacon and Mozzarella Sticks

by 7 Comments

It’s that time of the year, it’s fair season! We just went to our local state fair a few weeks ago, and now the Wisconsin State Fair is in full swing until August 10th! I’m a foodie, so for me the State Fair is all about food. The common themes for fair food in Wisconsin is definitely lots of deep frying, lots of cheese, and bacon wrapped everything! I was at a breakfast the other week with other Midwestern bloggers and we all agreed that State Fairs in the Midwest know how to do it right. Some of us have visited fairs in other states and you just can’t find the deep fried cheesy goodness or foods on a stick that you can here in the Midwest.

Deep fried everything isn’t necessarily good for you. Bummer, right? So instead of deep frying I whipped up baked mozzarella sticks…with bacon. Of course. All that’s missing is an ice cold beer to enjoy these with.

These were delicious, and incredibly easy to make. Aliceana gobbled up two by herself in record time.  These are made with local string cheese and bacon wrapped in egg roll wrappers, sprayed with a little bit of extra virgin olive oil and baked to golden brown perfection.

This was my first time using egg roll wrappers, and I can’t wait to try them out for new recipes. It was incredibly easy. I researched a few ways to bake egg roll wrappers, and chose to use water to seal them, it worked out perfectly. I promise this recipe is basically fool proof.

Of course you can’t have mozzarella sticks without marinara sauce, I served these with my very own marinara sauce recipe for dipping.
