step by step
Method
- Step 1
Prepare the coating station
- Put the flour in one bowl.
- Beat the eggs in a second bowl.
- Mix the breadcrumbs with the paprika, garlic powder and salt in a third bowl.
- Step 2
Coat the mozzarella
- Roll the mozzarella stick in the flour, shaking off the excess.
- Dip it in the beaten eggs, then press it firmly into the seasoned breadcrumbs.
- Repeat the egg and breadcrumb coating for a thick, sealed crust.
- Step 3
Freeze the stick
- Place the coated mozzarella on a tray and chill until firm so it holds its shape while frying.
- Step 4
Heat the oil
- Heat the frying oil in a deep pot to 180 °C.
- Step 5
Deep fry
- Lower the mozzarella stick into the hot oil and fry until deep golden and crisp.
- Turn it once so it browns evenly.
- Step 6
Drain and serve
- Lift out with a slotted spoon and drain on paper.
- Serve hot while the cheese is molten.
