Fried Mozzarella Logs

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Cheese

    Cut the fresh mozzarella into sticks, about 1/2 inch wide and 4 inches long.

  2. 2

    Set Up Breading Station

    In three separate bowls, place the flour in the first bowl, beat the eggs in the second bowl, and place the breadcrumbs mixed with salt and pepper in the third bowl.

  3. 3

    Bread the Mozzarella

    Coat each mozzarella stick first in flour, then dip into the beaten eggs, and finally coat with breadcrumbs. Ensure they are fully covered.

  4. 4

    Chill the Mozzarella Sticks

    Place the breaded mozzarella sticks on a baking sheet and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to help the coating adhere.

  5. 5

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep frying pan, heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  6. 6

    Fry the Mozzarella

    Carefully add a few mozzarella sticks to the hot oil and fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Serve hot with house marinara sauce or melba sauce for dipping.
