Fried Mozzarella Balls

Ingredients for Fried Mozzarella Balls

• About 1200ml vegetable oil

• 450g drained marinated bocconcini (small mozzarella balls), patted dry

• 3 large eggs, beaten

• 240ml plain fine dry bread crumbs

• Equipment: a deep-fat thermometer

• Accompaniment: warm homemade or bottled spicy tomato sauce

How to make Fried Mozzarella Balls

Heat about 11/2 inches oil to 182°C in a 3 1/2-to 4-quart heavy saucepan.

Meanwhile, double-coat bocconcini by dipping in eggs, then in bread crumbs, and repeating. Transfer to a sheet of wax paper.

Working in batches of 10, lower balls into oil with a slotted spoon and fry, turning occasionally, until golden brown, about 30 seconds per batch. Transfer to paper towels to drain and season with salt. (Return oil to 182°C between batches.)
