A Few Notes

Coat twice so the cheese stays inside.

Cook from frozen, never from thawed.

Check at 6 minutes if your machine runs hot.

Use low-moisture mozzarella; fresh mozzarella is too wet.

Common Substitutions & Variations

• Fresh herbs work in place of the dried oregano at roughly three times the quantity — a teaspoon of dried is about a tablespoon of fresh, chopped.

Leftovers

Best eaten straight away. Uncooked, coated sticks freeze for up to 2 months.
