These mozzarella wedges were a bit bland. I would probably add some more spices to the breading next time.

These mozzarella wedges were a bit too greasy for my taste. But the flavor was good. I would probably try them again with a different type of breading.

I was hesitant to try these mozzarella wedges because I'm not a huge fan of fried food. But I'm so glad I did! They were so delicious. The breading was crispy and the cheese was gooey. I will definitely be making these again.

These mozzarella wedges were amazing! I used a different type of breading, but they still turned out great. The cheese was melted and gooey, and the breading was crispy. I will definitely be making these again.

I made these mozzarella wedges last night and they were delicious! The breading was crispy and the cheese was gooey. I served them with the marinara sauce and it was the perfect dipping sauce.
