Fried mozzarella coated in breadcrumbs is a quick-to-prepare dish that is perfect served as a snack. This snack can be served for supper, during the day or at parties. Preparing fried mozzarella is easy and very quick. After cutting, the cheese should be covered with tomato paste seasoned with oregano and salt. Then, each piece of cheese is coated with flour, egg and breadcrumbs, then deep fried. When it comes to serving, I like to pair cheese with something sweet. It is often jam, fruit or chutney. This time I opted for arugula, sweet figs and balsamic sauce. Other toppings that go great with fried mozzarella include:

How to make fried mozzarella cheese.

Slice the mozzarella cheese in half and pat-dry it lightly with a paper towel. Combine the tomato paste with the oregano and a pinch of salt in a bowl, then brush each slice of cheese with ot. Next, break the egg into the first bowl and whisk it with a fork. Put the flour in the second bowl and the breadcrumbs in the third one. Coat the cheese with the flour, then with the egg bath and finally with the breadcrumbs – in the latter two, coat the cheese twice.

Pour oil into a frying pan, heat it up and put the breaded cheese on it. Fry over a medium heat until golden brown on both sides – about 3-4 minutes. Place the fried cheese on a plate lined with a paper towel.

Put the arugula salad on a serving plate, arrange pieces of figs and fried mozzarella cheese on top of it. Drizzle balsamic sauce over it.
