Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 balls Buffalo mozzarella
- 50 grams All-purpose flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 100 grams Panko breadcrumbs
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 200 grams Ripe cherry tomatoes
- 1 small Red onion
- 1 clove Garlic
- 5 leaves Fresh basil
- 1 tablespoon Balsamic vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Drain the buffalo mozzarella balls and pat them dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with panko breadcrumbs.
Coat each mozzarella ball in flour, then dip in the egg, and finally roll in panko breadcrumbs until fully covered. Set aside on a plate.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Once hot, carefully add the breaded mozzarella balls. Fry them for about 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy. Remove from the pan and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
To make the tomato relish, dice the cherry tomatoes and finely chop the red onion, garlic, and basil leaves.
In a mixing bowl, combine the diced cherry tomatoes, red onion, garlic, and basil. Add 1 tablespoon of balsamic vinegar, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and let the relish sit for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve the pan-fried buffalo mozzarella warm, topped with the tomato relish. Garnish with additional basil leaves if desired for presentation.
