For the Fancy Fried Cheese
Method
Cooking Instructions
Prepare the Cheeses
Cut the mozzarella and provolone cheeses into 1-inch thick slices.
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.
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.
Heat the Oil
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
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.
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.
