Yield Makes 8 first-course servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 8-ounce balls fresh water-packed mozzarella cheese, drained, each cut into four 1/3- to 1/2-inch-thick rounds
All purpose flour
1 large egg, beaten to blend
3 cups fresh breadcrumbs made from crustless French bread (about 8 ounces)
2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) butter
6 garlic cloves, minced
1 cup (packed) fresh Italian parsley leaves
1/2 cup olive oil
1/3 cup drained capers
1 2-ounce can anchovy fillets, drained
1 1/2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice

Steps:

  • Coat cheese in flour, then egg, then breadcrumbs. Place on baking sheet. Cover and refrigerate until cold, at least 2 hours.
  • Meanwhile, melt butter in small skillet over low heat. Add garlic; sauté about 3 minutes. Transfer mixture to processor. Add parsley leaves, 1/4 cup oil, capers, anchovies, and lemon juice. Blend until coarse paste forms. Season with salt and pepper. (Cheese and sauce can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover separately; chill. Rewarm sauce slightly over low heat before serving.)
  • Heat 1/4 cup oil in large skillet over high heat. Working in batches, fry cheese until brown, about 2 minutes per side.
  • Transfer fried cheese to plates. Spoon warm sauce over cheese.

I made these mozzarella sticks last night and they were AMAZING! The mozzarella was perfectly fried and the anchovies, capers, and garlic sauce were the perfect accompaniments. I will definitely be making this again and again.

These mozzarella sticks were a big disappointment. The breading was soggy and the cheese was not very flavorful. I would not recommend this recipe.

The mozzarella sticks were good, but the garlic sauce was a little too garlicky for my taste. I would probably use less garlic next time.

These mozzarella sticks were a bit bland. I think I would add some more spices to the breading next time.

I'm not usually a fan of mozzarella sticks, but these were really good! The breading was crispy and the cheese was gooey and flavorful. The anchovies and capers added a nice salty flavor, and the garlic sauce was perfect for dipping. I would definite

The mozzarella sticks were good, but they didn't live up to my expectations. I thought they would be more flavorful.

These mozzarella sticks were a little bit too greasy for my taste. I think I would try baking them next time instead of frying them.
