Fried Mozzarella-Stuffed Zucchini
- 2 large zucchini
- 4 ounces mozzarella cheese, cut into 4 (1/2- x 1/2- x 2 1/2-in.) logs
- 1/2 cup (about 2 1/8 oz.) all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 2/3 cup Italian-seasoned breadcrumbs
- 1 cup canola oil
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 cup marinara sauce
- Cut ends off zucchini, and cut each in half crosswise. Using an apple corer, remove the center of each zucchini piece, and stuff each with 1 mozzarella log. Cut stuffed zucchini crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick rounds.
- Place flour in a shallow dish. Place eggs in a second shallow dish, and breadcrumbs in a third shallow dish. Dredge each stuffed zucchini round in flour, and dip in egg, shaking off excess. Dip in breadcrumbs, pressing to adhere.
- Heat oil in small saucepan over medium-high. Fry coated zucchini rounds 3 at a time, turning occasionally with a fork, until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Transfer fried zucchini rounds to a plate lined with paper towels to drain; sprinkle with salt. Serve with marinara sauce.
