🍳 Cook: 2 min
Ingredients
| — | canola oil, for frying | |
| 6 oz | 170 g | sliced mozzarella |
| 8 slices | white sandwich bread | |
| — | kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste | |
| 1/2 cup | 120 ml | flour |
| 2 | eggs, lightly beaten | |
| 1 cup | 240 ml | plain bread crumbs |
Instructions
- Pour oil to a depth of 2" in a 6-qt. Dutch oven; heat over medium-high heat until a deep-fry thermometer reads 350°F (175°C). Divide the mozzarella slices among 4 slices of bread; season with salt and pepper, and cover with the remaining slices to make 4 sandwiches. Trim the crusts and halve the sandwiches diagonally. Place the flour, eggs, and bread crumbs in three separate bowls. Dredge the sandwiches in flour, coat in the eggs, and coat in the bread crumbs; fry until golden brown, about 2 minutes.
