Fried mozzarella is a popular appetizer originating from Italian-American cuisine. This indulgent dish features breaded sticks or rounds of mozzarella cheese, coated in a crispy layer of seasoned breadcrumbs and deep-fried to golden perfection. The gooey, melted cheese inside contrasts delightfully with the crunchy exterior, making it a favorite comfort food. Typically served with marinara or other dipping sauces, fried mozzarella is rich in protein and calcium, thanks to the cheese. However, its preparation involves deep-frying, which adds significant fat and calories, making it best enjoyed in moderation. While it's a delicious treat, pairing it with lighter dishes or adding a side of fresh vegetables can help create a more balanced meal.
