Fried Mozzarella Ingredients
Method
Fried Mozzarella Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Breading Station
Set up a breading station by placing the flour in one shallow bowl, beaten egg in another, and breadcrumbs mixed with salt and black pepper in a third bowl.
- 2
Bread the Mozzarella
Take each mozzarella stick, coat it in flour, dip it in the beaten egg, and then roll it in the breadcrumb mixture until fully coated.
- 3
Heat the Oil
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers.
- 4
Fry the Mozzarella
Carefully place the breaded mozzarella sticks in the hot oil and fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Avoid overcrowding the pan.
- 5
Drain and Serve
Once golden brown, remove the mozzarella sticks from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve hot with marinara sauce on the side.
