Fried Mozzarella

Method

Preparation and Cooking

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Cut the fresh mozzarella into 1-inch cubes and season with salt and pepper. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Set Up the Breading Station

    In one bowl, place the flour. In a second bowl, beat the eggs. In a third bowl, place the bread crumbs.

  3. 3

    Bread the Mozzarella

    Take each mozzarella cube, dip it in flour, then the beaten eggs, and finally coat it with bread crumbs. Ensure each piece is well coated.

  4. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  5. 5

    Fry the Mozzarella

    Carefully add the breaded mozzarella cubes to the hot oil in batches. Fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes. Remove and drain on a paper towel.

    Serve hot with red sauce on the side for dipping.
