Fried Housemade Mozzarella
Method
Fried Housemade Mozzarella
Prepare the Cheese
Cut the fresh mozzarella cheese into bite-sized cubes, approximately 1 inch in size.
Bread the Mozzarella
Take a piece of mozzarella, coat it in flour, then dip it in the beaten eggs, and finally coat it with the breadcrumb mixture until fully covered. Repeat for all cheese cubes.
Heat the Oil
In a deep frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can use a thermometer to check the temperature.
Fry the Mozzarella
Carefully add the breaded mozzarella pieces to the hot oil in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown, turning occasionally for even cooking.
Drain the Mozzarella
Once fried, use a slotted spoon to remove the mozzarella from the oil and place it on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
Serve
Garnish with fresh basil leaves and serve hot with marinara sauce for dipping.
