Mozzarella Nuggets
Chipotle Ketchup
Method
Mozzarella Nuggets
Prepare the Mozzarella
Drain the fresh mozzarella balls and pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
Bread the Mozzarella
Coat each mozzarella ball in flour, dip it into the beaten eggs, and finally roll it in the breadcrumb mixture until fully covered.
Heat the Oil
In a large frying pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat until hot (about 350°F or 175°C).
Fry the Nuggets
Carefully add the breaded mozzarella balls to the hot oil in batches. Fry for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown, turning occasionally.
Drain
Once golden, remove the mozzarella nuggets from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.
Chipotle Ketchup
Mix Ingredients
In a bowl, combine the ketchup, chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, lime juice, and honey.
Adjust Seasoning
Stir well and taste the mixture. Add salt to taste, adjusting the flavor as needed.
Serve
Transfer the chipotle ketchup to a serving bowl and serve alongside the mozzarella nuggets.
