Fried Mozzarella and Sauce

Method

Preparation and Cooking

  1. 1

    Prepare the Mozzarella

    Start by freezing the mozzarella cheese sticks for about 30 minutes to prevent melting during frying.

  2. 2

    Set Up Breading Station

    In three separate bowls, set up the breading station: one with flour, the second with beaten eggs, and the third with breadcrumbs.

  3. 3

    Bread the Mozzarella

    Take each frozen mozzarella stick, dip it into the flour, then into the egg, and finally coat it with breadcrumbs. Ensure they are well-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

    Carefully place the breaded mozzarella sticks into the hot oil. Fry for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  6. 6

    Toss in Nashville Hot Sauce

    In a large bowl, toss the fried mozzarella sticks in Nashville Hot sauce until evenly coated.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Arrange the Nashville hot mozzarella on a serving plate and serve with house-made ranch dressing on the side.
