Delectable Tuesday Blog Hop 6/7 - Fried Mozzarella Nuggets

I'm really sorry to have missed everyone last week. It was finally our turn for tornadoes and power outages. We were out from Sunday to Wednesday last week. I missed everyone's recipes so much! I can't wait to see what you bring to the table this week. Now on to this week's recipe.

Oh my goodness these are soooo good. They make me do a happy dance!

I keep a small cast iron skillet around just to make these because they don't require much oil to fry them. They are so tiny that they take up only a little space in the pan and a few seconds to cook.


Fried Mozzarella Nuggets

8 ounces string cheese sticks, room temperature
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
Salt and pepper
1 egg, lightly beaten
1/2 cup Italian seasoned bread crumbs
Vegetable Oil for deep frying
Bottled chunky marinara sauce, for dipping

Cut cheese sticks into thirds. Place flour on a plate and season it with salt and pepper. Put the egg in a small bowl. Place bread crumbs on a plate.

Add cheese pieces to flour and toss to coat. Dip in egg, and then roll in bread crumbs. Arrange breaded cheese in a single layer on a tray or baking sheet. Let stand for 15 to 30 minutes. Pour oil into large skillet to a depth of 1-inch, and heat over medium-high heat. When oil is hot, carefully drop cheese pieces in, a few at a time, and fry until golden, about 30 seconds. Remove from oil with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Serve with your favorite chunky marinara sauce for dipping.
