Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Mozzarella

    Slice the fresh buffalo mozzarella into thick slices (about 1/2 inch).

  2. 2

    Set Up Breading Station

    In three separate bowls, place the flour, beaten eggs, and breadcrumbs. Season the flour with salt and black pepper.

  3. 3

    Bread the Mozzarella

    Dredge each slice of mozzarella in the flour, shaking off excess. Dip into the beaten eggs, then coat with breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.

  4. 4

    Sauté the Mozzarella

    In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the breaded mozzarella slices and sauté until golden brown on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove from skillet and place on paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve warm with marinara sauce on the side and garnish with fresh basil.
