Fried Scamorza Skewers are delicious bites ideal for an aperitif; you can accompany them with spicy tomato sauce or a squeeze of lemon for added freshness. The soft and gooey cheese center covered by a scrumptious Nachos coating is a revisited version of the classic fried mozzarella balls.

How to Make Fried Scamorza Skewers
Start by skewering the small scamorzas onto the skewers.
At this point, take two large bowls; in the first, beat the eggs, in the second, roughly chop the chips. Dip the skewers first into the beaten eggs;
then, pass them through the bowl with the chips.
Finally, immerse the skewers in hot oil, drain them, and enjoy hot and gooey!
Skewer Storage
This type of preparation, like fried scamorza skewers, is best consumed immediately, so I advise against storing them in the fridge or freezing them.
FAQ (Questions and Answers)
Can fried scamorza skewers be breaded in another way?
Of course, you can replace the tortilla with corn flakes or simple breadcrumbs.
Can they be cooked in an air fryer?
Yes, but the result will certainly be different in terms of tastiness.
