Step 2: Wrap the Cheese
- Take a spring roll wrapper and place it on a flat surface in a diamond shape.
- Place one mozzarella stick near the bottom corner.
- Fold the corner over the cheese, then fold in the two side corners, and roll tightly towards the top.
- Seal the edge with a slurry made of 2 tbsp flour mixed with 2 tbsp water.
- Repeat with all the cheese sticks until you have neatly wrapped rolls.
Step 3: Coat the Rolls
To make them extra crispy, use a triple-coating method:
- Roll each mozzarella wrap lightly in flour (this helps the egg stick).
- Dip it in beaten egg.
- Roll it in breadcrumbs until fully coated.
Tip: For a thicker, crunchier crust, repeat the egg and breadcrumb coating one more time.
Step 4: Fry Until Golden
- Heat oil in a deep pan to 350°F (175°C).
- Carefully place the rolls into the oil, a few at a time.
- Fry for 2–3 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy.
- Remove with a slotted spoon and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.
Step 5: Serve Hot
The magic of mozzarella rolls lies in their gooey center, so serve them immediately while the cheese is still stretchy. Pair them with:
- Marinara sauce for a classic Italian touch.
- Garlic aioli for a creamy punch.
- Spicy chili sauce for a kick of heat.
Pro Tips for Perfect Crispy Mozzarella Rolls
- Freeze before frying: For best results, freeze the coated rolls for 20–30 minutes before frying. This prevents the cheese from leaking out too quickly.
- Use panko breadcrumbs: They give a lighter, crunchier bite than regular breadcrumbs.
- Don’t overcrowd the pan: Fry in small batches to keep the oil temperature stable.
