thanks for this recipe! fried mozzarella is one of my fav restaurant treats, but i had never tried fresh mozza. instead of italian seasoning i used celery salt – not quite as classy but so delicious

very tasty…but kind of half way went to pieces in my fryer. but, that very well could be because they were left in a little long. great flavor though…i think i need another one right now!

Fantastic and easy recipe!! I have never tried the panko–only regular bread crumbs–but I imagine that it would be even crispier with panko!! Which then makes it even better!! It is a bit difficult working with fresh mozzarella because it is very moist–but SO worth it!!

Easy and very yummy! I didn’t freeze the coated slices as long as recommended (30 mins once and 10 another), it turned out very well each time.
