Fried Mozzarella Ingredients
Method
Cooking Directions
Prepare the Mozzarella
Slice the mozzarella cheese into sticks, each about 1/2 inch thick.
Set Up Breading Station
In three separate bowls, place the flour (seasoned with salt and pepper), beaten eggs, and panko breadcrumbs.
Bread the Cheese
Dip each mozzarella stick first into the flour, coating completely, then into the eggs, and finally into the panko breadcrumbs, ensuring they are well coated.
Heat the Oil
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot (about 350°F or 175°C).
Fry the Mozzarella
Carefully add the breaded mozzarella sticks to the hot oil in batches. Fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.
Serve
Serve hot with your choice of huckleberry melba or marinara sauce for dipping.
