Greek Freak Fried Mozzarella

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons Spiceology Greek Freak Blend
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup panko bread crumbs
  • 1 - 16oz package of fresh mozzarella, sliced 1/2 inch thick
  • 2 eggs
  • vegetable oil or canola oil, for frying

Directions

  1. Spread out flour onto a plate for base coating step one.
  2. Beat the eggs in a bowl and set aside as your wet breading dish step two.
  3. In a shallow dish combine panko and Greek Freak blend as your dry breading step three.
  4. Slice your cheese into disks and lay out on a paper towel. This is your assembly prep laid out for frying.

  1. Heat about an inch of oil in a frying pan on medium-high until it shimmers (365 degrees). Test a crumb of panko and if it bubbles immediately it’s ready.
  2. The three breading steps in order: dust cheese slices on flour on all sides shaking off excess. Dip a cheese disc into egg and fully coat all sides. Place into Greek Freak panko and turn to coat well.

  3. When you have a few coated and ready add carefully with a large fork or slotted spatula into hot oil. Flip when edges start to brown, about a minute. After browning both sides, remove onto paper towels.
  4. Fry in small batches so as not to crowd the pan. Wait a couple minutes between batches to allow for oil to reach temperature again.
  5. Serve with marinara or ranch for dipping and enjoy!
