Fried mozzarella is a popular appetizer made by coating slices or sticks of mozzarella cheese in breadcrumbs and then deep-frying them until golden brown. The result is a crispy exterior that contrasts with the gooey, melted cheese inside. It is often served with a side of marinara sauce for dipping. This dish is commonly found in Italian-American cuisine and is enjoyed at restaurants, bars, and parties. Fried mozzarella is also known as mozzarella sticks when prepared in stick form. Its appealing texture and flavor make it a favorite among cheese lovers.
