Ok....YUM! How can you go wrong with deep fried mozzarella? I made an alteration to the recipe for my convenience. It tells you to use 1 pound of whole mozzerella but I used mozzy cheese sticks instead. It worked out great! Because I rate this at 5 mickeys, I'm giving you the recipe to try out!
1 lb mozzerella cheese (or use cheese sticks like me)
3 eggs, beaten
1/2 cup flour
1 coup bread crumbs
1/4 cup parsley, chopped
4 cups vegetable oil, for frying
Marinara Sauce
Cut mozz. into 3-inch sticks about 1/2 inch thick. Combine bread crumbs and chopped parsley in a smal bowl and set up beaten eggs in another. Place flour on a plate. First thoroughly dust cheese sticks in flour, shaking off any excess. Dip in beaten egg, coating thoroughly, and then in bread crumbs. Press lightly to ensure an even coating. Refrigerate 15 min. to allow breading to set up.
In the meantime, heat oil in a heavy skillet just large enough to allow for 2 inches of oil. When oil is hot, fry a few cheese sticks at a time to a golden brown. Drain on paper towels. Repeat until all cheese has been fried. Serve hot with marinara sauce on the side for dipping.
