Learn how to make delicious Blackstone Fried Mozzarella with a crispy exterior and gooey interior, served with a flavorful marinara sauce.
Ingredients
Mozzarella & Breading
- 8 slices fresh mozzarella
- ½ cup flour
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 2 cups panko
- ½ cup olive oil
Marinara Sauce
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup tomato puree
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
Instructions
- Mix together the flour and garlic powder in one dish.
- In yet another dish, place the panko breadcrumbs.
- Bread the mozzarella rounds by first dipping in the flour, next the egg wash, and finally the panko.
- Place the breaded mozzarella on a piece of parchment paper on a baking sheet and place that into the freezer.
- While the cheese is chilling, add the 1 tablespoon of olive oil to a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and let cook for 1 minute.
- Add the tomato puree and bring to a simmer.
- Stir in the rest of the ingredients for the marinara and let simmer over low heat while you finish the rest of the dish.
- Preheat your Blackstone griddle to medium heat.
- Lay down some olive oil on the griddle surface. You want a generous amount, but not so much that it runs off into the grease trap.
- Get the mozzarella out of the freezer and place onto the oiled, preheated griddle. Brown on both sides. Add a little more oil before you flip, if necessary.
- Remove promptly and serve with your marinara.
In another dish, whip together the egg and milk.
