Golden, crispy on the outside, and delightfully gooey on the inside, these mozzarella bites are a crowd-pleasing appetizer perfect for dipping and sharing.


Ingredients

  • Mozzarella cheese blocks
  • All-purpose flour
  • Eggs
  • Italian breadcrumbs
  • Vegetable oil

Instructions

Prepare the Mozzarella Cheese:

  • Cut the mozzarella cheese blocks into bite-sized cubes.
  • In a shallow bowl, place the all-purpose flour.
  • In another bowl, beat the eggs.
  • In a third bowl, pour the Italian breadcrumbs.

Coat the Cheese:

  • Dip each mozzarella cube into the flour, ensuring it is fully coated.
  • Next, dip the floured cube into the beaten eggs, making sure it is coated evenly.
  • Finally, coat the cube with the Italian breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.

Fry the Cheese Bites:

  • In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium heat.
  • Carefully place the coated mozzarella cubes into the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the skillet.
  • Fry the cheese bites until golden brown and crispy on all sides.
