Mozzarella Impanata





Mozzarella


GET BUFFALOED ITALIAN STYLE

Fried fresh buffalo mozzarella. I just love saying that. This simple appetizer recipe is not only tasty, it's fun to eat for the whole family.

The stringy, gooey texture of the cheese takes you on a journey to another world.

"Mozzarella de Bufala Campana" is made only from Campania's buffalo milk. This satisfying cheese appetizer with its crunchy texture outside and melted inside, topped with your favorite marinara sauce and sprinkled with oregano will only want you longing for the Mediterranean.

Sounds good doesn't it? So, try it tonight with a nice glass of wine and relax to some great Italian music.

    PREPARATION

    Make it Chicago style by adding some slice pepperoni or prosciutto between two 1/4 inch slices of cheese before breading and frying. Mmmm so good!
