For the Fancy Fried Cheese
Method
Cooking Instructions
- 1
Prepare the Cheeses
Cut the mozzarella and provolone cheeses into 1-inch thick slices.
- 2
Setup Breading Station
Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls: one with flour mixed with salt and pepper, one with beaten eggs, and one with panko breadcrumbs.
- 3
Bread the Cheese
Dip each cheese slice first in the flour mixture, then in the egg, and finally in the panko breadcrumbs, ensuring each piece is well coated.
- 4
Heat the Oil
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
- 5
Fry the Cheese
Carefully add the breaded cheese slices to the hot oil, frying in batches if necessary. Fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
- 6
Drain and Serve
Transfer the fried cheese to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve immediately with tomato rosa sauce and chive pesto.
