Fried mozzarella is a simple yet exquisite dish that has captured the hearts of cheese lovers. Although this recipe is often associated with Italian cuisine, its adaptation in Russian tradition has brought its nuances. The delicate mozzarella cheese, covered with a crispy golden crust, melts in the mouth, creating a contrast between the soft texture inside and the crunch outside. Due to its versatility, it can serve as a wonderful snack, an addition to salads, or a standalone treat for a cozy evening. Serving it with tomato sauce or fresh herbs can highlight its creamy richness. Fried mozzarella is a delight that combines simplicity in preparation and richness of flavor in one appetizing bite.
