Equipment

  • Shallow bowl
  • 2 Dinner plates

Ingredients

  • 16 ounce log of Whole Milk Mozzarella Cheese sliced ½" thick
  • 2 eggs beaten
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup Italian Bread crumbs
  • 1 cup Panko bread crumbs
  • 1 Tablespoon olive oil for brushing the waffle iron
  • ¾ cup Marinara sauce

Instructions

  • Preheat the waffle iron. If you have browning options, choose the lowest. Slice the cheese into 16 rounds. Add the eggs to a shallow bowl and beat lightly.
  • Pour the flour onto a plate. Mix the two types of bread crumbs together and pour onto another plate.
  • First dip a cheese slice into the egg, then dredge in flour. Put it back into the egg.
  • Then coat it completely in the bread crumbs, even rolling it around to coat the sides. Pat to make sure the bread crumbs are well adhered.
  • When the waffle iron is ready, add one slice of cheese at a time, cooking until golden brown.
  • Use a fork to remove the cheese from the waffle. Cut into quarters and eat while still hot, dipping in marinara sauce.
  • You could probably cook these and keep them warm in the oven until they are all ready, but honestly, they are much better eaten as they come off the waffle iron!
