Ingredients

The following were quite nicely chosen to provide the best combination of tastes and textures for Fazoli’s Fried Mozzarella Bites:

• Mozzarella Cheese: It is the core of every bite. The premium mozzarella is chosen for the sweet, mildest of tastes and for superior melting. It stretches and becomes gooey when fried, so there’s a great pull in every bite.
• Coarse bread crumbs seasoned with herbs: Adding seasoned bread crumbs to the mozzarella will give it a very satisfactory crunch and flavor. Seasoned bread crumbs usually contain Italian herbs such as oregano, basil, and just a pinch of garlic powder, which gives the bites an aromatic savory taste.
• Flour: This is a bottom layer that allows the egg wash and bread crumbs to stick to the cheese. The flour coats evenly, thereby ensuring the cheese gets an even coat before frying.
• Egg Wash (Eggs and Water): Mixed with eggs and water, it helps the bread crumb stick on the mozzarella. When frying, it gives a nice light golden color to the bites. It also serves to moisture lock-in, in so that the cheese stays tender.
• Vegetable oil for frying: The bites are fried in vegetable oil to obtain that crispy texture. It’s heated to high heat levels such that the breading will become golden brown while the cheese inside melts.
• Marinara Sauce for Dipping: The best accompaniment to the bites is the traditional Italian tomato sauce, with the tanginess and sweetness it gives off. This marinara sauce is made by incorporating tomatoes, garlic, onions, olive oil, and Italian herbs to blend together the flavors perfectly in a rich taste.
