Bread the mozzarella
Dredge each mozzarella slice first in the flour, shaking off excess, then dip it in the beaten eggs, and finally coat it with panko breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.

Fry the mozzarella
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, carefully add the breaded mozzarella slices and fry until golden brown on each side, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.
