Notes & Tips

if you like you can try it out with a stronger hard cheese but i use the mozzarella as its melts excellently but also keeps a great shape inside and dosent seep out while frying. ALSO a pre brought breadcrumb coating like the herb and garlic one avail at woolies works great too great with a tomato chutney (or HUNGRY GIRLS chilli jam) or as a side in place of potato in a classic dinner. awesome with a small slice of thin ham wrapped around the mozzarella before wrapping in potato
