Ingredients

  • ½ cup gluten-free corn flakes

  • ¼ cup potato starch

  • 1 teaspoon garlic salt

  • ¼ teaspoon Italian seasoning

  • 1 egg

  • 2 (8 ounce) balls fresh mozzarella cheese, cut into wedges

  • vegetable oil for frying

Directions

  1. Place corn flakes in the bowl of a food processor; pulse until crushed.

  2. Combine crushed corn flakes, potato starch, garlic salt, and Italian seasoning in a shallow dish. Beat egg in a second shallow dish.

  3. Dip mozzarella cheese pieces first in egg, then in the corn flake mixture.

  4. Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Add breaded mozzarella cheese; fry until golden brown, about 30 seconds per side. Transfer to a baking pan lined with a wire rack to drain excess grease.
