Makes: 12-14 bites
Ingredients
  • • Bread slices, 5 (without crusts)
  • • Mozzarella cheese, 250 grams (cut up in bite sized pieces)
  • • Eggs, 2
  • • All Purpose Flour (maida), ½ cup
  • • Oil, for deep frying
Method
  1. Start by making panko crumbs (read all about them in the post). Blitz the crustless bread slices in a chopper or food processor until it resembles the texture of sand. Very fine. Now tip these crumbs on a baking tray and bake them in a preheated oven for 4-5 minutes until they're dried out but not golden. You have to keep a very close eye because they tend to burn very quickly so don't leave them alone even for a second.
  2. Once you have your panko crumbs ready arrange all your ingredients. Start by heating the oil.
  3. Whisk the eggs in a shallow bowl and transfer the mozzarella bites, flour and crumbs to individual plates. Arrange these neatly in a line, this will help in the assembly process.
  4. Begin by dunking the mozzarella bites in flour, followed by eggs and finally toll it in the panko crumbs. Repeat the process again (flour, eggs and crumbs) in that same order. Do not change the order. Make sure you generously coat the mozzarella, if you don't coat it well the mozzarella might ooze out.
  5. Keep lining them neatly on a tray lined with parchment paper of foil.

  7. Once your oil is hot (medium hot), fry the mozzarella bites until golden brown. Serve hot.
  8. If you want to serve these when your guests are over, half fry them and give them a final fry right before serving.
