Mozzarella Fritti Recipe

Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the mozzarella

   Cut the fresh mozzarella into thick slices, about 1 inch thick.

2. 2

   Set up the breading station

   In three separate bowls, place flour in the first, beaten eggs in the second, and breadcrumbs mixed with salt and pepper in the third.

3. 3

   Bread the mozzarella

   Dip each mozzarella slice first in the flour, then in the beaten eggs, and finally coat it with the breadcrumbs. Ensure each slice is fully coated.

4. 4

   Heat the oil

   In a deep frying pan, heat the oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

5. 5

   Fry the mozzarella

   Carefully place the breaded mozzarella slices in the hot oil, frying in batches if necessary. Fry 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 on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve hot with marinara sauce on the side.
