Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Mozzarella

    Slice the fresh mozzarella cheese into 1/2 inch thick slices.

  2. 2

    Set up Breading Station

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

  3. 3

    Bread the Mozzarella

    Take each slice of mozzarella, dip it in flour, then into the egg, and finally coat it with breadcrumbs. Ensure each piece is well covered.

  4. 4

    Heat the Oil

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

  5. 5

    Fry the Mozzarella

    Carefully place the breaded mozzarella slices into the hot oil. Fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes on each side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  6. 6

    Finish and Serve

    Sprinkle the fried mozzarella with grated Parmesan cheese. Serve immediately with marinara sauce on the side for dipping.
