Ingredients

  • 1 cup gluten free flour such as Blends by Orly Sydney Blend
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup gluten free seasoned bread crumbs
  • Coarse salt and ground pepper
  • 1 pound bocconcini bite-size fresh mozzarella balls
  • 2 cups vegetable oil
  • Tomato sauce for serving

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 250° F. 
  • Place gluten free flour, such as Sydney Blend, in a bowl. 
  • In another bowl, beat eggs. 
  • Place bread crumbs in a third bowl. Add salt and pepper to taste. Working with 2 bocconcini at a time, dredge in flour, shaking off excess, coat in egg, and roll in  breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.
  • In a small saucepan, heat vegetable oil over medium-high until pinch of breadcrumbs sizzles and floats to the top when  added. Fry bocconcini, 4 at a time, until golden brown, turning occasionally, 2 minutes per batch.
  • With a slotted spoon, transfer balls to paper towels to drain and season with salt. Keep warm in oven and repeat with remaining bocconcini. 
  • Serve with tomato sauce for dipping.
