Fried Mozzarella with Marinara Sauce

1 pound mozzarella
3 beaten eggs
1/4 cup flour
2/3 cup dried and seasoned bread crumbs
1/4 cup oil, for frying
Marinara Sauce, for serving

Slice the mozzarella into 1" slices. Dip each into the beaten eggs, then the flour, the egg again, and finally the bread crumbs. Place on waxed paper and chill for 1 hour.

Before frying the cheese, heat the Marinara Sauce.

When ready to serve, heat the oil in a saute pan. Add the chilled cheese slices and fry until browned, turning once. Total cooking time should only be 2 - 2 1/2 minutes.

Drain on paper towel. Serve hot with the Marinara Sauce as an appetizer.
