Ingredients

• 1 pound fresh mozzarella cheese
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 eggs, whisked
• 1 cup dry bread crumbs
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• White wine
• 3 tablespoons capers
• 1 tablespoon butter
• Fresh chopped parsley, for garnish

Instructions

1. Slice the mozzarella into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Set up three shallow dishes: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with seasoned bread crumbs (salt and pepper to taste).
2. Dredge each slice lightly in flour.
3. Dip into the eggs, letting excess drip off.
4. Press firmly into bread crumbs for even coverage. For extra crunch, repeat egg and crumb layers.
5. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high. Fry slices 1 minute per side until golden, keeping cheese intact.
6. Transfer to a platter.
7. Deglaze pan with a splash of white wine, scraping bits. Stir in capers, remove from heat, and swirl in butter for a zesty sauce.
8. Drizzle sauce over mozzarella, garnish with parsley, and serve hotpure bliss in every gooey bite!
