   Prepare the Ingredients

   Slice the mozzarella cheese into thick slices, about 1/2 inch each.

   In three separate bowls, set up your breading station: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs mixed with salt and pepper.

   Bread the Mozzarella

   Coat each slice of mozzarella first in flour, then dip it in the beaten eggs, and finally coat it with breadcrumbs.

   Heat the Oil

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

5. 5

   Fry the Mozzarella

   Carefully add the breaded mozzarella slices to the hot oil in batches, frying 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 place it on paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve hot with tomato sauce for dipping.
