Recipe Card

ingredients

  • 1/2 (8 oz) log BelGioioso Fresh Mozzarella
  • 1 cup cassava flour
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • Oil for frying

Method

  • Step 1

    Cut the Fresh Mozzarella log in half, then into strips that are 3 inches long by 1 inch wide.

  • Step 2

    Place the cassava flour in one bowl. Beat the eggs in a second bowl. Mix together the almond flour, Italian seasoning, onion powder, ground mustard, and sea salt in a third bowl.

  • Step 3

    Dip each log into the cassava flour, then coat it with egg, then coat it with the almond flour mixture. Repeat this about 3 times until each mozzarella stick is really coated. If you don't bread them enough, the Fresh Mozzarella will melt out while you're frying it.

  • Step 4

    Heat the oil (I used safflower oil) in a frying pan over high heat. Once hot, gently drop each breaded stick into the oil. When golden brown, flip and cook the other side.

  • Step 5

    Transfer to a plate lined with a paper towel. Then, transfer to a serving plate and serve with marinara sauce.
