Step-by-Step Instructions for Easy Fried Cheese Bites
- Drain the bocconcini mozzarella to remove excess moisture and pat dry with a kitchen towel. Set aside.
- Set up a breading station with three bowls: one with flour mixed with salt and Italian seasoning, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs.
- Coat each bocconcini ball in flour, then dip in the egg, letting excess drip off, and finally roll in breadcrumbs.
- Place the coated mozzarella balls on a parchment-lined tray and freeze for 1 to 2 hours.
- Heat canola oil in a deep skillet to 350°F (180°C). Fry the mozzarella balls in small batches for 60 to 90 seconds until golden brown.
- Remove the fried bites with a slotted spoon and let drain on paper towels. While hot, sprinkle with salt and grated Parmesan. Serve warm with marinara sauce.
