Fried Mozzarella and Sauce

Method

Preparation and Cooking

  1. 1

    Prepare the Breading Station

    Set up three bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs. Season the flour with salt and pepper.

  2. 2

    Bread the Mozzarella Sticks

    Dip each mozzarella stick first in the flour, then in the beaten eggs, and finally coat with breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil

    In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the oil to 350°F (175°C).

  4. 4

    Fry the Mozzarella Sticks

    Fry the breaded mozzarella sticks in batches until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  5. 5

    Make the Nashville Hot Sauce

    In a bowl, combine cayenne pepper, paprika, garlic powder, brown sugar, and salt. Mix well.

  6. 6

    Toss the Fried Mozzarella in Sauce

    Once the mozzarella sticks are fried and drained, toss them in the Nashville hot sauce until evenly coated.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Plate the Nashville hot mozzarella sticks and serve with house-made ranch dressing on the side.
