Bread the Mozzarella
Take a fresh mozzarella ball, coat it in flour, shaking off any excess. Next, dip it into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off. Finally, roll it in the panko mixture until fully coated. Repeat with all mozzarella balls.

Fry the Mozzarella
Carefully add the breaded mozzarella balls to the hot oil, a few at a time, to avoid overcrowding. Fry for about 2 to 3 minutes or until golden brown and crispy, turning occasionally. Use a slotted spoon to remove them and drain on paper towels.
