Step-by-Step Instructions
- Begin by thoroughly draining the bocconcini mozzarella balls, ensuring no excess moisture remains. Pat them dry with paper towels.
- Create an efficient breading station with three bowls: one for flour with salt and seasoning, one for beaten eggs, and one for breadcrumbs with garlic powder.
- Dip each drained mozzarella ball into the flour mixture, then the eggs, and finally roll in the breadcrumb mixture. For extra crunch, double-coat.
- Lay the coated balls on a parchment-lined tray and freeze for 1-2 hours until firm.
- Heat canola oil to 350°F (180°C) and fry the mozzarella balls in small batches for 60-90 seconds until golden brown.
- Remove the fried mozzarella balls from the oil with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Sprinkle with salt and Parmesan cheese. Serve with marinara sauce.

Notes
Ensure your mozzarella is well-drained before frying to prevent leaking and achieve that gooey center. Fry in small batches for even cooking.
