Anyway, we’re going deeply savory today and you simply need a few inches of oil heated during a pot to form these hot and crispy, stretchy Mozzarella Bites.
Start by cutting 6 mozzarella cheese sticks into 6 equal pieces each. I cut all in half, then cut each half into thirds. By the way, I even have to inform you, Ben worked at Pizza Hut during college (true story) and said stuffed crust pizza is simply a daily ball of dough stretched super thin then the surface is rolled around cheese sticks. I feel cheated somehow right?
INGREDIENTS :
- 2 cups gluten-free bread crumbs
- gluten freevegetarian
- salt
- 6 mozzarella string cheese sticks, each cut into 6 bites
- 1/4 cup gluten-free flour
- 2 eggs
- 2 Tablespoons water
- marinara sauce
INSTRUCTIONS :
- Add flour to one bowl, whisk together eggs and water in another bowl, then add bread crumbs to another bowl. Season bread crumbs with salt then stir to combine.
- Working with 4 bites at a time, roll in the flour, tapping any excess off, then add to the egg mixture and use a fork to coat. Transfer bites to bread crumbs then use your fingers to coat each bite. Add bites back into the egg mixture then use a fork to coat, and then transfer back to the bread crumbs to create a double coating. Place bites onto a large plate then repeat with remaining cheese and refrigerate for 20 minutes or until breading is set.
- Add enough oil to a small, heavy-bottomed pan to come 2” up the sides. Turn the heat to slightly above medium then heat until oil reaches 365 - 370 degrees. Fry bites in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan, until golden brown, 30 seconds or so. Scoop bites onto a paper towel lined plate then sprinkle with salt and serve immediately with warmed marinara sauce.
