Fried Mozzarella

Fried Mozzarella
serves 6

ingredients
4 eggs
15g/1⁄2oz plain flour, seasoned
with salt and freshly ground
black pepper
15g/1⁄2oz dried white
breadcrumbs
600g/11⁄4lb mozzarella cheese
sunflower oil for deep-frying

• Beat the eggs in a bowl. Spread some seasoned flour on one plate and some breadcrumbs on another.
• Slice the mozzarella into 5mm/1⁄2in pieces. Dredge the slices with the flour first, then dip into the beaten egg, then into the breadcrumbs. Dip again into the egg and again into the breadcrumbs to coat well.
• Pour the sunflower oil into a deep heavy frying pan so that it is at least 2.5cm/1in in depth. Heat until a piece of bread dropped into the oil sizzles immediately.
• Fry the coated cheese in the oil until golden. Remove with a spatula, drain on kitchen paper and serve hot.
