1
Prepare the Cheese
Cut the fresh mozzarella into 1-inch thick slices. Pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
2
Set Up Breading Station
In one bowl, place the flour. In a second bowl, beat the eggs. In a third bowl, place the breadcrumbs mixed with salt and black pepper.
3
Bread the Mozzarella
Dredge each slice of mozzarella in flour, shaking off excess. Dip into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off, then coat with breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.
4
Heat Oil
In a deep skillet or pot, heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
5
Fry the Mozzarella
Carefully place the breaded mozzarella slices into the hot oil, working in batches if necessary. Fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
6
Serve
Serve immediately with ranch dressing or marinara sauce on the side for dipping.
