Ooey gooey deliciousness

This was a fun treat—fried mozzarella balls! Picture this... a crispy crust, a savory, melted, ooey gooey cheesy filling, and a perky tomato sauce to compliment it. Oh, and a bit of basil. Just coat the bucatini sized mozzarella balls (the ones a little smaller than a golf ball) in flour, egg, then bread crumbs, quickly fry in some olive oil, then sprinkle with sea salt and enjoy. Mama Mia, pass the Chianti!!
