• 113g (¼ pound) mozzarella cheese, drained
• 118 ml (½ cup) seasoned bread crumbs
• 1 large egg

Mise en place

• Preheat deep fat fryer to 175°C (350°F)

Method

1. Preheat deep fryer to 350°F (175°C).
2. Slice mozzarella into cubes 2-3 cm on a side.
3. In a small bowl, whisk egg.
4. Fill another small bowl with bread crumbs.
5. Dip 5-6 bites at a time into the egg.
6. Shake excess egg off the bites and place them in the bread crumbs.
7. Shake bowl of bread crumbs, evenly coating all bites. Add more bread crumbs as needed.
8. Place coated bites to the side and repeat for remaining bites.

13. Dump onto paper towel and pat off excess oil gently.
