1
Prepare the Mozzarella
Cut the fresh mozzarella into thick slices or cubes, about 1 inch in thickness.
2
Set up the Breading Station
In three separate shallow bowls, place flour in the first bowl, beaten eggs in the second bowl, and breadcrumbs mixed with salt and pepper in the third bowl.
3
Bread the Mozzarella
Coat each piece of mozzarella in flour, then dip it into the beaten eggs, and finally roll it in the breadcrumb mixture until fully coated.
4
Heat the Oil
In a deep skillet or frying pan, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
5
Fry the Mozzarella
Carefully place the breaded mozzarella pieces into the hot oil, frying them in batches for about 2-3 minutes per side or until golden brown. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
6
Serve
Serve the fried mozzarella hot with a side of signature marinara sauce for dipping.
