Mozzarella Balls

This recipe is so good! But what deep fried cheese isn't delicious! LOL!

Things you need:
Fresh Mozzarella Balls - as many as you wish to make
Eggs - beaten - about 4
Italian Bread Crumbs
Parmesan Cheese
Flour
Salt
Pepper
Cayenne Pepper
Fresh Italian Parsley (chopped finely)
Canola Oil

Take your Mozzarella Balls and remove them from the liquid. Pat them dry with a paper towel, this will help get rid of all the moisture and also help your breading to stay on.

Preheat your deep fryer or skillet and make sure your oil is hot! If you are going to pan fry these make sure your pan is deep enough to cover the cheese ball with oil.

Get a plate and place your flour on the plate. Season your flour with the Cayenne Pepper, Black Pepper, and salt. Just enough to taste.

Scramble your eggs and place them in a small to medium size bowl. You want to be able to dip your balls in there.

Also, put your bread crumbs, Parmesan Cheese and Italian Parsley on a plate.

Once you have your three stations your ready to start! Take a Mozzarella ball and roll in Flour, once it's coated in flour, dip it in the egg, then in the bread crumbs, dip it one more time in the egg and the bread crumbs. This will make the coating so crunchy and will also make it so it sticks better to the cheese. Once all your balls are coated place in your freezer for 20 minutes. This will help the egg set up and also stick better to the Cheese. After the 20 minutes put those babies in the deep fryer until golden brown! These are so gooey and delicious! Serve with your favorite marinara or ranch!
