Fried Mozzarella Ingredients

Method

Fried Mozzarella Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the mozzarella

    Cut the mozzarella cheese into sticks, each about 1 inch thick and 3 inches long.

  2. 2

    Set up the breading station

    In three separate shallow dishes, place flour in the first, beaten eggs in the second, and a mixture of breadcrumbs, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper in the third.

  3. 3

    Bread the mozzarella

    Coat each mozzarella stick first in flour, then dip in the beaten eggs, and finally roll in the breadcrumb mixture until fully coated.

  4. 4

    Heat the oil

    In a deep skillet or pot, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  5. 5

    Fry the mozzarella

    Carefully add the breaded mozzarella sticks to the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown.

  6. 6

    Drain and serve

    Remove the fried mozzarella from the oil and drain on paper towels. Serve hot with marinara sauce for dipping.
