Recipe - Mozzarella Cheese Chunks With Marinara Sauce

One half pound Mozzarella Cheese
2 Eggs
1 One half cup Italian Bread Crumbs
One half teaspoon Salt
One fourth teaspoon Pepper
2 cup Vegetable Oil
One half cup Marinara Sauce

Slice the cheese in half. Then cut each half into quarters. Break the eggs
into a shallow bowl and beat them lightly with a fork until blended. Pour
the bread crumbs into another shallow bowl and mix with the salt and
pepper. Dip the cheese into the eggs and then into the bread crumbs,
turning to coat all sides. Repeat the process to add a second layer of
crumbs. Let the cheese dry on a piece of wax paper for a minute or so while
the oil heats. Pour the oil into a medium size saucepan and heat over high
heat until it reaches 375. Fry the cheese for 1 to 2 minutes, until golden
brown on all sides. While the cheese if frying, heat the marinara sauce.
Serve the cheese cubes at once with the warm marinara sauce for dipping.
