Ingredients
- 8 mozzarella planks, 2 by 4 inches, 1/4-inch thick
- 1 cup milk, mixed with 1 cup beaten eggs
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup ground Parmesan
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground white pepper
- 3 cups panko breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, minced
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Vegetable oil, for frying
Instructions
- Pre-chill or slightly freeze the cheese planks for about 20 minutes. Meanwhile, whisk together the flour, Parmesan, salt and pepper in one bowl, and whisk together the breadcrumbs, parsley and garlic powder in another bowl.
- Dip each plank into the flour mixture, then dip in the egg wash to cover, and finally cover with the seasoned panko breadcrumbs. The exterior must be covered evenly, or the cheese will “leak” out during cooking. Repeat the process with the remaining planks. Place the cheese planks on a baking sheet and freeze for 30 minutes.
- Heat oil in a fryer or deep pot to 350 degrees to 375 degrees F. Fry the planks until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Allow excess oil to drip on paper towels, then season again with salt and pepper and serve atop the red sauce of your choice.

Reviews
My husband made these for me and they are spectacular!!!! Make sure you follow the chill instructions to a T or you will get a gooey mess in the bottom of your fryer.
After viewing the restaurant impossible episode and watching Robert throw these together so quickly I thought I have to make those. I was getting ready to make them and then thought I better see if I can find the exact recipe just in case and I am glad I did. There were a few more ingredients and tasks to do to make them. I followed recipe exactly and it turned out perfect! I laid them on a tomato, basil, pesto sauce and sprinkled with fresh parmesan. Just like expensive restaurant style however I already had the ingredients. Thank you for another great recipe Robert!
