Vincenzo’s Top Tip To Make Fried Mozzarella Balls

Don’t miss step 4!

By double dipping the ball into the egg and breadcrumbs, it creates a thick layer which will protect the cheese from oozing out when the heat hits it! It also makes them nice and crunchy!

Vincenzo’s Mamma’s Top Tip To Make Fried Mozzarella Balls

Check the heat of the oil!

To check if the oil is hot enough get a toothpick and dip the tip of it into the oil. If it starts to bubble around the toothpick, then the oil is hot enough for you to begin frying. If not, wait a little longer.
