Fried mozzarella sounds good right? I ate this while travelling in Italy and all I can say is wow! Eating this in the back streets of Rome, I thought to myself how the Italian's make the simplest things taste so extraordinary. I mean it's really just fried cheese, but how they do it.. (insert sigh)
So I thought that I would recreate this once I got back to Australia. It's so quick and easy to make that the only problem is stopping at one.
Enjoy!
