Instructions
- In a blender or food processor (I use a food processor) add the cut up fresh mozzarella, parmesan cheese, parsley salt, bread and egg. Mix together until well combined. It will be slightly sticky.
- If you need to lightly dampen your hands with water and form into golf ball size balls. First roll in milk then roll in bread crumbs. Place them on a parchment paper lined cookie sheet or plate cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 30-60 minutes. Or even overnight if you wish.
- If baking the mozzarella balls then Pre-heat oven to 350F (180C).
- Remove the tray from the fridge and bake for about 10-15 minutes. Be sure to turn them after about 5-6 minutes. Remove from the oven and serve.
- If frying, in a large fryer or deep pot add the vegetable oil halfway full, make sure the temperature remains between 335 - 345F (170-175C), (too high and they cook on the outside but not in the middle / too low and they remain soggy). Once oil is at the correct temperature, fry a few mozzarella balls at a time, until they are golden brown. Approximately 2-3 minutes, but turn often so they brown on all sides. Drain on paper towels for about 20 seconds, then serve. Enjoy.
