Description

A delicious appetizer for any gathering. There's nothing simpler than making an appetizer in a deep fryer, especially if you have leftover hard cheese and mozzarella after the holidays. Such an appetizer should be cooked in a deep fryer preheated to 175-185 degrees, as this temperature allows the cheese to melt while the coating on the appetizer becomes crispy and golden. In the recipe I explain, it can be served warm or chilled.
