Description
Just like mozzarella sticks:) and just about everyone in the world loves these, so you may want to triple the recipe, because these go fast; and if your entire family is anything like mine, you know what happens when a "small" party of about 50 italians are gathered in your home!!!
Ingredients
- Mozzarella Cheese
- Sandwich Bread
- Eggs
- Milk
- Italian Breadcrumbs
- Vegetable Oil
- Olive Oil
- Sliced Mushrooms
- Sage
- Marinara Sauce
Instructions
- Cut the mozzarella into 12 chunks
- Place each chunk on one half of a bread slice and fold the other half over the top
- Press edges together to seal
- In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk
- Spread the breadcrumbs in another shallow bowl
- Dip the cheese pockets into the egg mixture, allowing excess to drip back in the bowl
- Dredge in the breadcrumbs, tuning to coat evenly and completely
- In a large, heavy frying pan, heat both oils over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking
- Working in batches, fry the pockets, turning once, until deep golden brown–about 4 minutes each side
- Drain on paper towels
- Sprinkle with sage
- Serve hot with marinara sauce in dipping cups
