Fried Zucchini and Mozzarella

Peel the zucchini, remove the ends, cut them into six parts lengthwise, then cut the pieces into 2 cm chunks

In a deep dish, place the zucchini pieces, sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg, and lightly pepper

Drizzle everything with milk and let it rest for at least thirty minutes

After this time, pour some flour into a deep dish, add a little salt and pepper, and mix

Drain the zucchini pieces, dry them carefully with paper towels, and lightly flour them

Heat the oil for frying to 180 degrees

If you don't have a thermostat, check the temperature by throwing a piece of bread crumb into the oil: it should brown in a minute

Then immerse the zucchini in the oil and let them cook for two minutes until they are well browned, then drain them on paper towels

Keep warm

In a deep dish, beat the egg using a fork

Pass the eight slices of mozzarella in the flour, then dip them in the beaten egg, and then in the breadcrumbs

Fry them in hot oil and in a different pan from the one in which you fried the zucchini pieces

When it is golden on both sides, drain it and let it dry on a sheet of paper towel

Combine the zucchini and mozzarella on a serving dish and serve hot

You can serve this dish along with other fried and hot appetizers
