Time 30m

Yield About 50 pieces

Number Of Ingredients 9

Two 8-ounce containers mozzarella bocconcini, drained from liquid
3/4 cups all-purpose flour
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
1/3 cup milk
3 large eggs
2 cups panko breadcrumbs
1/2 cup grated Parmesan
Vegetable oil, for frying
Simple Tomato Sauce, for serving

Steps:

  • Arrange the mozzarella balls on a sheet tray. Remove any excess liquid by patting them dry with paper towels.
  • In three separate shallow baking dishes, first add the flour to one and season with salt and pepper. Next, whisk together the milk and eggs in the second. Finally, add the breadcrumbs and Parmesan in the last shallow baking dish.
  • Roll each mozzarella ball in the flour, followed by the egg mixture and finally the breadcrumb mixture. Repeat the process with the remaining ingredients.
  • In a large high-sided saute pan, add 3 inches of oil. Heat the oil until it reaches 350 degrees F on a frying thermometer.
  • Working with 4 or 5 mozzarella balls at a time, fry until golden brown, about 1 minute. Remove with slotted spoon on to paper towel-lined plate and season immediately with salt.
  • To hold before serving, keep mozzarella balls on a wire rack over sheet tray in a 200 F degree oven.
  • Serve with Simple Tomato Sauce (link to Kelsey's existing recipe on cctv.com)

This recipe is a keeper! I've made it several times and it's always a hit.

These were a disaster! The batter didn't stick to the cheese, and they fell apart in the oil.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my fried bocconcini didn't turn out as crispy as I would have liked. I think I may have cooked them for too long.

These fried bocconcini were a little too oily for my taste, but they were still tasty.

Not bad, but I think I would have preferred to use fresh mozzarella instead of bocconcini.

I was skeptical about frying cheese, but this recipe proved me wrong. The bocconcini were crispy on the outside and melted on the inside, just like mozzarella sticks. I'll definitely be making these again.

So easy and delicious! I made these for my kids and they loved them.

I've made fried bocconcini before, but this recipe is by far the best. The batter was perfectly crispy and the cheese was gooey and melted.

I love how crispy the bocconcini were, and the marinara sauce was the perfect accompaniment. I also appreciated that the recipe didn't require any special ingredients or equipment.
