A dish that my daughter loves is Breaded and Fried Mozzarella Balls, truly a delightful side dish to offer for a party or an appetizer. With the double breading, you will prevent them from breaking during cooking and the cheese from leaking out.
- Difficulty: Easy
- Cost: Economical
- Preparation time: 15 Minutes
- Portions: 5 people
- Cooking methods: Stovetop
- Cuisine: Italian
Ingredients
- 8.8 oz cherry-sized mozzarella balls (drained from the preserving water)
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups breadcrumbs
- 3 eggs
- 5 pinches fine salt
- 2 pinches ground black pepper
- 2 cups vegetable oil
Preparation
Drain the mozzarella balls from the preserving water by placing them in a colander.
Then roll them in the flour.
Now coat them in the eggs and then in the breadcrumbs.
Coat them again in the egg and then in the breadcrumbs, lightly pressing them with your hands to ensure the coating sticks well to the mozzarella.
It’s time to fry them.
In a pan, heat the oil, and once hot, submerge the mozzarella balls, cooking over medium heat until golden brown.
Remove them from the pan with a slotted spoon and place them on a plate with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Serve hot and enjoy your meal!
I recommend preparing them with the double breading, as suggested in the recipe, to prevent them from breaking during cooking and the cheese from leaking out.
