MOZZARELLA BITES
Number Of Ingredients 8
Steps:
- Line a large plate with several layers of paper towels. In a small pot, heat the oil over medium heat until it reads 360°F to 370°F on a thermometer. (Note: This is a relatively high frying temperature, which gets the outside crust crispy before the inside cheese can melt too much. Keep an eye on the temperature of the oil, and if it gets too hot, turn off the heat.)
- Drain the mozzarella balls and dry them well with paper towels. (It's best to get them as dry as possible on the outside.) Place the flour in a medium bowl, the egg in a second medium bowl and the bread crumbs in a third medium bowl.
- Working in batches, dredge the cheese balls in flour to coat, then in egg, then in bread crumbs. Repeat until all the cheese is breaded.
- Fry the mozzarella in the preheated oil until golden brown on the outside, then remove from the oil with a slotted spoon and transfer to the prepared paper-towel-lined plate. Season immediately with salt.
- To serve, garnish the mozzarella with parsley, then serve immediately with a side of warm marinara sauce.
