Deep Fried Mozzarella
Italian
Serves 4
500g mozzarella cheese
3 eggs beaten
100g Flour
200g Bread crumbs
Parsley, chopped
Preparation: 10min.
Resting time: 15min.
Cooking: 2 to 3min. per batch
Cut the mozzarella into sticks about 3-inch long and
½-inch thick.
Combine the bread crumbs and chopped parsley in a
small bowl.
Beat the eggs together in another.
Place the flour on a plate and thoroughly coat the cheese
sticks shaking off any excess. Dip the mozzarella sticks
in the beaten egg, coating thoroughly, and then coat
them in bread crumbs. Press lightly to ensure an even
coating.
Refrigerate for 15 minutes to allow the breadcrumbs
to set.
Meanwhile, heat the fryer to 180° C. One by one, place
the mozzarella sticks into the deep fryer and cook for
about 2-3 minutes or until the coating is golden brown.
Once cooked, drain in the basket and then on kitchen
paper. Keep warm while frying the remaining batch(es).
Serve hot with your choice of dip.
