Ingredients
- 8 oz mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 2 cups vegetable oil
- ½ tsp salt
Instructions
- 1
Cut the 8 oz mozzarella into 1-inch cubes. Pat dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
- 2
Set up three shallow bowls: 0.5 cup flour, 2 beaten eggs, and 1 cup breadcrumbs mixed with 0.5 tsp salt.
- 3
Dredge each cheese cube in flour, then dip in egg, then coat with breadcrumbs. Press crumbs to adhere.
- 4
Heat 2 cups vegetable oil in a deep skillet to 350°F (a breadcrumb sizzles immediately).
- 5
Fry fritters in batches without crowding, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crisp, about 2-3 minutes.
- 6
Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Serve hot for maximum gooeyness.
