Mozzarella Frites Recipe

For the Preparation

1. 1

   Prepare the Mozzarella

   Cut the fresh mozzarella into sticks approximately 1 inch wide and 3 inches long.

2. 2

   Set Up Battering Station

   In three separate bowls, place the flour in the first bowl, beaten eggs in the second, and breadcrumbs mixed with salt and pepper in the third.

3. 3

   Batter the Cheese

   Coat each mozzarella stick first in flour, then dip it in the beaten eggs, and finally roll it in the breadcrumb mixture until fully coated.

4. 4

   Heat the Oil

   In a deep skillet or fryer, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

5. 5

   Fry the Mozzarella Frites

   Carefully add the battered mozzarella sticks to the hot oil in batches. Fry for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.

6. 6

   Drain and Serve

   Remove the mozzarella frites from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve hot with marinara sauce for dipping.
