Vegetarian Friendly Mozzarella Schnitzel

Method:

• Step 1:

  Preheat your oven to 200 degrees celsius.

• Step 2:

  To make the breadcrumbs, tear the loaf into roughly 2 x 2 cm pieces. Place on a baking tray and drizzle with olive oil, parsley, rosemary, plus salt and pepper.

• Step 3:

  Bake for 15 minutes, or until crisp to the touch.

• Step 4:

  Blitz the bread in in a food processor or bullet until they resemble bread crumbs, then return to the baking tray. Bake for a further 10 minutes, or until just before they turn golden.

• Step 5:

  Prepare 3 separate bowls, in the first bowl add the flour, in the second bowl add egg and give a quick whisk, and in the third bowl, add the blitzed bread crumbs.

• Step 6:

  Dip the mozzarella slices in each bowl, one at a time, starting with the flour, then the egg and lastly, with the bread crumbs. Make sure to coat thoroughly during this process.

• Step 7:

  Over a medium heat, add the oil to a fry pan, let the pan get hot, then add your coated mozzarella. Cook for 2-3 minutes each side or until golden.

• Step 8:

  Serve hot and enjoy the crispy, cheesy mozzarella treats!
