Ingredients

• 300 grams Mozzarella cheese
• 120 grams All-purpose flour
• 3 large Eggs
• 200 grams Breadcrumbs
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 500 milliliters Vegetable oil (for frying)

Directions

Step 1

Cut the mozzarella cheese into small, bite-sized cubes (about 2-3 cm in size).

Step 2

Set up a breading station with three separate bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs mixed with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and chopped parsley.

Step 3

Dredge each mozzarella cube in flour, making sure it is evenly coated.

Step 4

Dip the floured mozzarella cube into the beaten eggs, ensuring it is fully covered.

Step 5

Roll the egg-coated mozzarella cube in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere the crumbs.

Step 6

Repeat the breading process (egg and breadcrumbs only) for double coating to ensure the cheese doesn’t leak while frying.

Step 7

Place the breaded mozzarella cubes on a tray and chill in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes to firm up.

Step 8

Heat the vegetable oil in a deep pan or fryer over medium heat until it reaches 175°C (350°F).

Step 9

Fry the croquettes in small batches for 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.

Step 10

Remove the croquettes with a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain the excess oil.

Step 11

Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce or aioli.
