how do you keep mozzarella sticks from splitting in the oven? (lemm.ee)

I've tried lancing them ahead of time, like I would with a sausage, but they still split open and spill their chizz everywhere.

Deep fry them

The internal heat is causing them to open up so you have to cook the exterior faster than the inside and frying is the only medium that's immediately hot enough to cook the outside before the inside and keep its temperature consistent when you add in the sticks.

I'm theory a hot enough convection oven should do the trick as well but it needs to be high quality enough (aka expensive) to recover the lost heat instantaneously.
