Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams Mozzarella cheese block
- 120 grams All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 3 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 200 grams Breadcrumbs
- 50 grams Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 teaspoon Dried parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 500 ml Vegetable oil (for frying)
- 1 cup Marinara sauce (for serving, optional)
Instructions
Cut the mozzarella cheese block into slices approximately 1 cm (0.4 inches) thick and 5-7 cm (2-3 inches) wide. Set them aside on a plate.
In a shallow bowl, combine the flour, salt, and ground black pepper. Mix well.
In a separate shallow bowl, whisk the eggs and milk together until fully blended.
In a third shallow bowl, combine breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, dried parsley, and garlic powder. Mix thoroughly to ensure even coating.
Dredge each mozzarella slice in the flour mixture, ensuring it is fully coated and shaking off any excess.
Dip the floured mozzarella slice into the egg mixture, coating it completely.
Finally, press the mozzarella slice into the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring it is fully covered. For a thicker crust, repeat the egg dip and breadcrumb coating once more.
Place the coated mozzarella slices on a plate or baking sheet and refrigerate for 10-15 minutes to help the coating adhere better.
In a deep skillet or heavy-bottomed saucepan, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 175°C (350°F). Use a thermometer to ensure the correct temperature, or test by dropping a small piece of breadcrumb into the oil—it should sizzle immediately but not burn.
Carefully place 2-3 coated mozzarella slices into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for 1-2 minutes per side, or until the crust is golden brown and crispy.
Using a slotted spoon, transfer the fried mozzarella slices to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Repeat with the remaining slices.
Serve the mozzarella Milanese immediately while warm and gooey, alongside marinara sauce for dipping if desired.
