Begin by slicing your fresh mozzarella into medallions or sticks, depending on your preference. Aim for uniform sizes to ensure even cooking.
In one mixing bowl, place the all-purpose flour. In a second bowl, add the slightly beaten eggs. In a third bowl, combine the torn bread pieces, panko bread crumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, fresh parsley, dried oregano, Kosher salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.
Take each piece of mozzarella, coat it in flour, then dip it into the egg mixture, and finally, roll it in the breadcrumb mixture until fully coated. This triple coating ensures a delightful crunch!
In a deep skillet or frying pan, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Use a cooking thermometer to check the temperature.
Carefully place the breaded mozzarella in the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove the mozzarella and transfer it to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Serve your Amazing Fried Mozzarella hot, paired with a side of fresh marinara sauce for dipping. The combination of flavors will have everyone reaching for seconds!
