Bread the mozzarella
Dredge each slice of mozzarella in the flour, shaking off the excess. Then dip it into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off. Finally, coat the slice in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.

Fry the mozzarella
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the breaded mozzarella slices, working in batches if necessary. Fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy.
