Description

Blackstone frittierte Mozzarella is a crispy, golden fried mozzarella snack cooked on a Blackstone griddle for an unbeatable crunchy crust and perfectly gooey cheese inside. This easy-to-make appetizer is ideal for parties or quick family treats, featuring simple ingredients and customizable seasoning options.

Ingredients

Scale

Mozzarella

  • Fresh mozzarella sticks or fresh mozzarella cut into 1/2 inch thick slices

Coating

  • Flour, lightly seasoned with salt and pepper (quantity as needed for dredging)
  • 2–3 eggs, beaten
  • Panko bread crumbs (enough to fully coat each piece)
  • Pinch of salt, pepper, and Italian herbs

For Frying

  • Neutral oil with high smoke point (vegetable or canola oil), enough to lightly coat the Blackstone griddle

Instructions

  1. Prep Your Mozzarella: Cut mozzarella into uniform sticks or 1/2 inch thick slices to ensure even cooking and a gooey cheese center.
  2. Set Up Your Breading Station: Prepare three shallow bowls—one with seasoned flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with seasoned panko breadcrumbs.
  3. Bread the Mozzarella: Dredge each piece in flour first, shaking off excess. Dip into the beaten eggs, coating all sides. Finally, press thoroughly into the breadcrumb mixture for a thick, even crust.
  4. Chill the Sticks: Place breaded mozzarella on a tray and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This step helps the breading adhere and prevents cheese leakage during frying.
  5. Preheat the Blackstone Griddle: Heat the griddle to medium-high and add a thin layer of neutral oil, ensuring even heat distribution for perfect frying.
  6. Fry Until Golden and Crispy: Carefully place the mozzarella sticks on the hot griddle. Cook about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy, flipping gently to maintain the crust.
  7. Drain and Serve: Remove the sticks and place on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil. Serve immediately for the best melty and crunchy experience.

Notes

  • Keep it cold: chilling after breading ensures the crust stays intact and prevents cheese from oozing out early.
  • Use panko breadcrumbs for a light, crispy texture.
  • Maintain medium-high heat to avoid burning while achieving crispiness.
  • Do not overcrowd the griddle; fry in batches for consistent heat.
  • Pair with dips like marinara, ranch, or spicy aioli for enhanced flavor.
