Mozzarella Cromesquis
Mozzarella Cromesquis is a delightful appetizer that combines the creamy goodness of mozzarella with a crispy outer coating. This dish consists of small balls of mozzarella cheese that are coated in a light batter and then deep-fried until golden and crunchy. The result is a delicious contrast between the melty, gooey cheese inside and the crisp, savory exterior.Originally inspired by French cuisine, cromesquis can be made with various fillings, but the mozzarella version is particularly popular for its simplicity and universal appeal. These bite-sized treats are often served hot, making them perfect for parties, gatherings, or as a starter in a multi-course meal. They can be enjoyed on their own or accompanied by a dipping sauce, such as marinara or aioli, to enhance the flavor experience.
Ingredients
- 4 Sprigs dwarf basil
- 2 Eggs
- 1.1 lbs Mozzarella
- 1.8 oz Grated Parmesan
- 3.5 oz Fine breadcrumbs
- 1.8 oz Blanched almonds
- 1.8 oz Flour
- Deep frying oil
- Salt
- Pepper
Instructions
- Drain and cut the mozzarella into 1.2-inch (3 cm) squares. Pat them dry with paper towels.
- Place the flour on a plate. Beat the eggs in a shallow dish, and season with salt and pepper.
- Remove the basil leaves from the sprigs. Coarsely chop the almonds and mix them with the breadcrumbs, basil, and Parmesan.
- Preheat the deep fryer to 180°C (350°F). Roll the mozzarella portions in the flour, shaking off the excess. Dip them in the beaten eggs, then coat them in the breadcrumb mixture. Place them directly into the hot oil and fry until golden brown, a few minutes.
- Remove the mozzarella bites from the oil with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Serve hot while the mozzarella is still gooey.
