If you don’t have a deep fat fryer then fill a big saucepan up with oil, leaving a few cm gap from the top of the pan, and be very careful.

This serves 2 or 3 but you can increase it if you want to serve more.

Ingredients

• 1 Ball of Mozzarella cheese, drained.
• Fresh white breadcrumbs
• 1tsp chilli flakes or chilli powder
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
• 1/2 tsp dried mixed herbs
• salt + pepper
• 2 beaten eggs
• Salad and dip to serve (i used the chilli jam again but the lion serves theirs with spicy pickle which works a treat.)

Method

1. Chop the mozzarella into slices or chunks, depending on how you would like them. Pat them dry with some kitchen paper.
2. Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk together.
3. Put the breadcrumbs into a separate bowl, season with salt and pepper and add the garlic, chilli, herbs and paprika, mix well.
4. Dip the cheese slices/chunks in the egg followed by the breadcrumbs, making sure they are coated all over.
5. Fry in the oil until crisp and golden – usually only takes a minute or two.
6. Serve on a bed of salad with the dip of your choice.
