Bread the Cheese
Take each mozzarella slice, dredge it in flour, dip it in the beaten eggs, and then coat it with breadcrumbs. Place the breaded mozzarella on a plate.

Heat the Oil
In a large skillet or frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

Fry the Mozzarella
Carefully add the breaded mozzarella slices to the hot oil, frying them in batches if needed. Fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown.
