Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the mozzarella

    Slice the fresh mozzarella cheese into 1/2 inch thick slices.

  2. 2

    Set up a breading station

    In three separate shallow dishes, place the flour, beaten eggs, and breadcrumbs mixed with salt and pepper.

  3. 3

    Bread the mozzarella

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

  4. 4

    Fry the mozzarella

    In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the breaded mozzarella slices in batches, frying until golden brown on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side.

  5. 5

    Drain and serve

    Remove the fried mozzarella from the skillet and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve warm with marinara sauce for dipping.
