Ingredients:
8 oz mozzarella cheese, cut into cubes

1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1 egg
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:
Prepare the cheese: Cut the mozzarella into small cubes, roughly 1 inch in size.
Coat the cheese: In a shallow dish, beat the egg. In another dish, combine the flour, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper. Dip each cheese cube first into the egg, then coat it in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to ensure the coating sticks.
Fry the cheese: Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan or skillet over medium heat. Once hot, carefully fry the cheese bites for 2-3 minutes or until golden and crispy on all sides. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
Serve: Arrange the crispy cheese bites on a plate and serve with marinara sauce for dipping.
These crispy fried cheese bites are perfect for snacking or as an appetizer. The crunchy exterior and melty cheese interior are a winning combination!
