Follow this easy recipe to make restaurant-quality mozzarella rolls at home.
Ingredients:
For the Mozzarella Rolls:
- 8 mozzarella string cheese sticks
- 8 egg roll wrappers
- 1 egg (beaten, for sealing)
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup breadcrumbs (Italian-seasoned preferred)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- Oil for frying
For the Marinara Sauce:
- 1 cup marinara sauce (homemade or store-bought)
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
For Garnishing:
- Fresh parsley (chopped)
- Parmesan cheese (grated, optional)
Instructions:
Step 1: Prepare the Mozzarella Rolls
- Wrap the Cheese: Place a mozzarella stick in the center of an egg roll wrapper. Brush the edges with beaten egg and tightly roll it up, folding in the sides to seal.
- Coat the Rolls: Roll each wrapped mozzarella stick in flour, then dip into the beaten egg, and finally coat with seasoned breadcrumbs.
- Freeze: Place the coated mozzarella rolls on a tray and freeze for about 30 minutes. This prevents the cheese from melting too quickly when frying.
Step 2: Fry to Perfection
- Heat the Oil: In a deep pan, heat oil to 350°F (175°C).
- Fry the Rolls: Carefully add the mozzarella rolls to the hot oil, frying until golden brown (about 2-3 minutes). Remove and place on a paper towel to absorb excess oil.
Step 3: Serve with Marinara Sauce
- Prepare the Sauce: In a small saucepan, heat the marinara sauce with red pepper flakes and dried basil over low heat for 5 minutes.
- Garnish & Enjoy: Drizzle the mozzarella rolls with marinara sauce, sprinkle with fresh parsley and parmesan cheese, and serve hot!
Pro Tips for the Best Mozzarella Rolls
- Freeze Before Frying: This ensures the cheese stays intact while frying.
- Use a Thermometer: Maintaining the oil temperature at 350°F prevents the rolls from becoming greasy.
- Air-Fryer Option: Cook at 400°F for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway for a crispy result.
