Just like mozzarella sticks:) And just about EVERYONE in the world loves these, so you may want to triple the recipe, because these go fast; and if your ENTIRE family is anything like mine, you know what happens when a "small" party of about 50 Italians are gathered in your home!!!

Time 35m

Yield 12 pieces

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 (8 ounce) package whole-milk mozzarella cheese
12 slices soft italian sandwich bread, crusts removed
3 eggs
3 tablespoons milk
1 cup seasoned Italian breadcrumbs
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1/3 cup olive oil
sliced mushrooms, olives,minced sun-dried tomatoes,chopped pepperoni,etc.
chopped sage or parsley, for garnish
marinara sauce, for dipping

Steps:

  • Cut the mozzarella into 12 chunks; place each chunk on one half of a bread slice and fold the other half over the top.
  • (Add any other filling ingredients with the cheese, if desired.) Press edges together to seal.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk.
  • Spread the breadcrumbs in another shallow bowl.
  • Dip the cheese pockets into the egg mixture, allowing excess to drip back in the bowl.
  • Dredge in the breadcrumbs, tuning to coat evenly and completely.
  • In a large, heavy frying pan, heat both oils over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking.
  • Working in batches, fry the pockets, turning once, until deep golden brown--about 4 minutes each side.
  • Drain on paper towels; sprinkle with sage.
  • Serve hot with marinara sauce in dipping cups.

These mozzarella pockets were delicious! The breading was crispy and the cheese was gooey. I will definitely be making these again soon.

I'm not a huge fan of fried food, but these mozzarella pockets were surprisingly good. The breading was light and the cheese was melted perfectly.

These mozzarella pockets were a bit too greasy for my taste. I think I'll try baking them next time.

These mozzarella pockets were a bit bland for my taste. I added some garlic powder and Italian seasoning to the breading and it helped a lot.
