Fried Mozzarella Parcels

Ingredients

For the mozzarella
8 slices of white bread, thinly sliced
200g/7oz buffalo mozzarella
2 medium eggs
125ml/4fl oz milk
6 tbsp plain flour



Method
  1. To make the mozzarella, cut the crusts off the bread and cut into slightly larger discs than the mozzarella slices.
  2. Slice the mozzarella into into four thick slices about 1cm/0.5in thick.
  3. Beat the eggs lightly and season with salt and pepper.
  4. Dip the slices of the bread on one side into the milk and then place a slice of the mozzarella on the dry side.
  5. Season the mozzarella and make a sandwich with the other slice of bread, milk-soaked side on the outside.
  6. Dust the sandwich with flour and then soak into the beaten egg.
  7. Deep fry the sandwich in a hot fryer until golden coloured and crisp on the outside.
  8. Drain on to kitchen paper and place the hot sauce on the plate, place two of the slices in the middle and serve.
I also added a fresh basil leaf into each parcel just to give it that extra flavour. DOn't worry if it looks like the parcels are not staying together, they join up and seal once you start frying them! This gets very messy so keep a cloth nearby!! The sauce is a cranberry and raspberry jelly.
Why not try it with a blue cheese or a strong cheddar?
