PREPARATION
To prepare the fried mozzarellas, place the beads in a colander and allow them to drain so that they lose their whey.
In a bowl, place the flour needed to flour the beads and turn them until they are completely covered.
In another bowl, beat the eggs with the salt and pepper and dilute them with the milk, mixing well. At this point, dip the floured mozzarellas in the beaten eggs so that they are well coated. Then dip them in the breadcrumbs.
Now proceed with a second breading so that the mozzarellas are crispier and there is no risk of milk leaking out: dip the breaded mozzarellas in the egg again and as a last step in the breadcrumbs, making sure that the breadcrumbs adhere perfectly. Your mozzarellas are now ready to be fried.
Pour plenty of frying oil into a large pan. Before dipping your mozzarellas, test the temperature of the oil by pouring a pinch of breadcrumbs into the pan: if it sizzles, then you can dip 3 or 4 mozzarella bites at a time. Fry the mozzarella balls for 1-2 minutes or until golden brown. Drain them, taking care not to pierce them, using a skimmer and, as you proceed with the frying, place the fried mozzarellas on absorbent paper. Wipe off any excess oil with kitchen paper. Now you can serve your fried mozzarella beads piping hot!
