This was easy to make and turned out great. It looked just like the picture. Next time I’m going to add granulated garlic and Parmesan cheese to the flour. I had an opened jar of Rao’s pizza sauce and we dipped the schnitzel in that.

We made this with a marinara sauce, which we all (6 of us) thought greatly improved it over the first, non-marinara attempt. This was an instant family favorite!

Wow!!!!!!!!! Super delicious and so easy!!!! I made it with Italian panko which was fabulous too. I served it with some leftover homemade roasted red pepper soup = perfection!!!! Will make often!!!

You can make this vegan with Miyoko’s Mozerella and Just Egg and it is absolutely delicious.

Made the Mozzarella Schnitzle and loved it! Scattered some cut cherry tomaToes and chives for a bit of color…WIll try with other cheeses as base. Thanks for the idea!

I made this for dinner tonight, and wow!! It was ready so fast- I made them while FaceTiming and half distracted and they still were super easy. I had half a mozzarella ball left in the fridge from pizza night the other day and so my slices were not uniform but it didn’t make a difference. I cooked them accordingly. I also added some garlic salt to the Panko and flour- which was amazing!! I made a couple before I did that and also delicious! I will definitely make these again.

This was genius!! I thought there would be no way to get delicious fried cheese in 10 minutes or less! (With super easy clean-up!) You get lots of crunch around the edges, and the middle is a nice contrast. The serving size is perfect - plenty for one as an appetizer. It really is filling! I love the idea of the cheese slices - it makes it just the right thickness, without having to evenly slice cheese, and so much faster! We are also going to try mixing in other slices - maybe putting a slice of pepper jack in between the mozzarella. I think the only caveat I have from trying it is unless you have no cheese leakage (and we did on both pieces we made), don’t bother with blotting. It glued to the paper towel. Try to just tip it to drain off oil on the side as you lift out of the pan. The second one in which we did that turned out better. Awesome with lemon!

What a great idea!! I'm always trying to figure out what to do with my fresh mozzarella, besides the usual pizza and caprese salad. I will try this, but yes I think I will add some dried Italian seasoning and some garlic powder. Thanks

Sounds ok but not spectacular. The benefit of mozzarella sticks is that they have quite a bit of crunch per cheesiness. And around here they usually have some sort of Italian seasoning in the breading, could easily be added. Why use pre-sliced mozzarella rather than cutting the desired thickness from a block? Blocks keep longer. And how about a successful air fried version? Now that would be something special.

How about making the recipe first. No one cares what you think would be better unless you have made it, and actually even then probably no one cares.

Could you do this with halloumi?

You totally could! I’ve had pita stuffed with crispy breaded halloumi. Amazing!

I made this with halloumi and it was delicious! Added some Italian seasoning to the panko and served it with spaghetti and marinara sauce. Thank you Emma!
