Prep Time: 1 hour 15 minutes
Cook Time: 12 minutes
Total Time: 1 hour 27 minutes
Servings: 6

Ingredients

  • 16oz. Pre-sliced Fresh Mozzarella
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 eggs (beaten)
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 2 cups Panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 tbsp. Italian seasoning
  • Oil for frying

Instructions

  • Set up a dredging station by placing the flour and seasonings in one bowl, the eggs and milk in a second bowl, and the breadcrumbs in a third bowl.
  • Dip each slice of mozzarella first into the seasoned flour, then into the egg mixture, and finally into the breadcrumbs, pressing gently to help the coating adhere.
  • Place the breaded mozzarella onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  • Repeat until all slices are coated.
  • Transfer the baking sheet to the freezer and chill for at least 1 hour.
  • When ready to cook, add enough oil to a skillet or griddle to fully coat the surface.
  • Heat over medium-high heat until hot.
  • Fry the mozzarella in batches, cooking for about 6 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
  • Remove and drain briefly on paper towels.
  • Serve hot with marinara sauce for dipping.
