Fried Mozzarella Ingredients

Method

Fried Mozzarella Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Cheese

    Cut the fresh mozzarella into 1-inch squares and set aside.

  2. 2

    Set Up Breading Station

    In three separate shallow dishes, place the flour, beaten eggs, and panko bread crumbs. Season the flour with salt and black pepper.

  3. 3

    Bread the Mozzarella

    Dredge each mozzarella square in flour, shaking off excess. Dip into the beaten eggs, then coat with panko bread crumbs, pressing gently to adhere.

  4. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.

  5. 5

    Fry the Mozzarella

    Working in batches, add the breaded mozzarella squares to the hot oil. Fry for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the fried mozzarella squares hot with rustic tomato sauce and marinara sauce on the side for dipping.
