Gluten-Free Mozzarella Bites

Cut each mozzarella string cheese stick into 6 pieces.

Add flour to one bowl.

Whisk together eggs and water in another bowl.

Add bread crumbs to a third bowl and season with salt, then stir to combine.

Work with 4 cheese bites at a time. Roll them in the flour, tapping off any excess.

Add to the egg mixture and use a fork to coat.

Transfer bites to the bread crumbs and use your fingers to coat each bite.

Add bites back into the egg mixture, use a fork to coat, and then transfer back to the bread crumbs for a double coating.

Place bites onto a large plate and repeat with remaining cheese.

Refrigerate for 20 minutes or until breading is set.

Add enough oil to a small, heavy-bottomed pan to come 2 inches up the sides.

Turn the heat to slightly above medium and heat until the oil reaches 365 - 370 degrees.

Fry bites in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan, until golden brown, about 30 seconds.

Scoop bites onto a paper towel-lined plate and sprinkle with salt.

Serve immediately with warmed marinara sauce.
