When it comes to frying Cheesy Delight Bombs, the temperature of your oil is crucial for achieving that perfect golden-brown crust while keeping the cheese inside delightfully gooey. If the oil is too cold, the bites will absorb too much oil, resulting in a greasy texture. Conversely, if the oil is too hot, the outsides may brown too quickly, leaving the inside cold and unappetizing.

Ingredients
  

200g fresh mozzarella cheese, cut into small cubes

1 cup all-purpose flour

2 large eggs, beaten

1 cup breadcrumbs (preferably panko for extra crunch)

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp dried oregano

1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (optional for a hint of spice)

Salt and pepper, to taste

Vegetable oil, for frying

Marinara sauce, for dipping

Instructions
 

Prepare the Cheese: Begin by placing the cubed mozzarella cheese in the freezer for approximately 30 minutes. This step is crucial as it helps to keep the cheese from melting too quickly when you fry it, ensuring a nice, gooey center.

    Set Up Breading Station: Organize your ingredients for easy breading. In one bowl, measure and place the flour. In a second bowl, pour in the beaten eggs, mixing gently to combine. In a third bowl, combine the breadcrumbs with garlic powder, dried oregano, red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and pepper. Mix well to distribute the seasonings evenly.

      Coat the Cheese: After chilling, remove the mozzarella cubes from the freezer. Take one cube at a time and roll it in the flour, ensuring to shake off any excess. Next, dip the floured cheese into the beaten eggs, allowing any extra egg to drip off. Finally, roll the cheese cube in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing lightly to ensure even coverage. Repeat this process until all mozzarella cubes have been coated.

        Heat the Oil: In a deep skillet or frying pan, pour in enough vegetable oil to come about 2 inches up the sides. Heat the oil over medium heat until it reaches a temperature of 350°F (175°C). Check the oil readiness by dropping a small piece of bread into it; if it sizzles immediately, your oil is ready for frying.

          Fry the Bites: Carefully place a few of the coated mozzarella bites into the hot oil—be cautious not to overcrowd the pan. Fry them for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they turn a lovely golden brown and achieve a crispy texture. Once done, use a slotted spoon to transfer the bites to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.

            Serve: Arrange the crispy mozzarella delight bombs on a serving platter while they are still warm. Serve alongside a bowl of marinara sauce for dipping, enhancing the experience with a delicious contrast of flavors.
