Fried Mozzarella with Prosciutto
Method
Preparation Instructions
Prepare the Mozzarella
Slice the fresh mozzarella into thick rounds, about 1 inch each. Take a slice of prosciutto and wrap it around each mozzarella slice.
Bread the Mozzarella
Dip each wrapped mozzarella slice first into the flour, then into the beaten eggs, and finally coat it well with the seasoned panko bread crumbs.
Heat the Oil
In a deep fryer or a large pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Fry the Mozzarella
Carefully place the breaded mozzarella slices into the hot oil. Fry them in batches for about 2-3 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Drain and Serve
Remove the fried mozzarella from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve hot with a side of ranch dressing for dipping.
