Vegetable oil for frying

3 pieces white bread crusts removed, torn into pieces

1 cup Panko breadcrumbs

¼ cup Parmesan cheese grated

2 cloves garlic minced

2 tablespoon Italian parsley chopped

1 teaspoon dried oregano

½ teaspoon Kosher salt

1 pinch freshly ground black pepper (link to recipe below)

1 cup all-purpose flour

2 large eggs slightly beaten

Fresh marinara sauce, for serving

Instrucțiuni

Pour enough oil into a sturdy skillet so it's about 2 inches deep. Heat to 350°F, using a candy thermometer to accurately gauge temperature, or toss a small piece of bread in the hot oil, and when it sizzles and starts to turn brown, it's ready.

Make the breadcrumb mixture by placing the white bread, Panko, Parmesan cheese, garlic, parsley, oregano, salt, and pepper into the bowl of a food processor and pulsing until well combined and the bread has become coarse crumbs.

Set up a dredging station by taking three medium-sized bowls and placing the flour in one, the eggs plus a tablespoon of water in another, and the prepared breadcrumbs in the remaining bowl.

Dredge each mozzarella piece first in the flour, then into the egg bath (shaking off excess), and then into the breadcrumbs. Use your fingers to help the bread crumbs adhere to the cheese. For extra crispy fried mozzarella, repeat the egg and breadcrumbs steps once again. Set breaded cheese pieces on a plate as you continue to work

Carefully add the breaded cheese pieces to the hot oil and fry until golden, about 2 to 3 minutes. Do this in batches, don't overcrowd the pan! Drain on a paper towel-lined plate.

Serve immediately with fresh marina.
