Mozzarella Fried Cheese Bites
Get ready to indulge in these deliciously crispy Mozzarella Fried Cheese Bites. Perfect for Easter Day or any time you crave a savory snack! These cheesy bites are a crowd favorite, easy to make, and totally irresistible.
Ingredients:
- 10 oz mozzarella string cheese (or 10 sticks)
- 1 cup Italian bread crumbs
- 1 cup flour
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
Instructions:
- Cut the mozzarella string cheese into bite-sized pieces (about 1-inch pieces).
- In a shallow bowl, mix the flour and Italian bread crumbs together.
- In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until smooth.
- Dip each piece of mozzarella into the egg mixture, ensuring it’s fully coated, then roll it in the flour and breadcrumb mixture. Press gently to ensure the crumbs stick well.
- Heat oil in a deep fryer or large pan over medium-high heat. You’ll need enough oil to submerge the cheese bites.
- Once the oil is hot, fry the mozzarella bites in batches for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
- Remove from the oil and drain on paper towels.
- Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce, like marinara or ranch dressing.
Tips for Perfect Mozzarella Fried Cheese Bites:
- Make sure the oil is hot enough to fry the cheese without it melting too quickly. If the oil is too cool, the cheese may leak out.
- For extra crunch, double-dip your mozzarella bites in the egg mixture and breadcrumbs.
- If you’re prepping these in advance, you can freeze the coated cheese bites before frying for a few hours, so they hold their shape better during frying.
