Southern Italy's Best Fried Cheese (Scamorza)

[@crysandson]

I took your recipe and cut those slices of cheese into bite sized pieces before battering and frying, then after frying allowed them to cool slightly just enough not to wilt a salad and tossed them into a spinach salad topped with a homemade very creamy Dijon dressing and homemade croutons and it was amazing!

Wow!! Sounds amazing -: thanks for sharing your tips with us 👍👍😊😊

I live in the south of Italy, and I love scamorza, especially stuffed with ham and then fried.

[@CookingwiththeCoias]

Stuffed with ham would be amazing 👍👍

My mom made lasagne when I was a kid. She got an easy recipe from an Italian shop owner, who insisted she use scamorza. He carried it in his little store. Late 1950’s. I could never find it for years. Now we can easily get it at a store nearby. What great memories. Thanks, Ivo.

This is the 2nd recipe I've come across for Scamorza cheese in the last 2 days. I don't recall hearing of it before. Will definitely try. Thanks, Ivo.

[@CookingwiththeCoias]

Sounds good....you're going to love it!!

I have had saganaki; fried kasseri cheese, and it is wonderful. I'll have to try this one. Plus put some into lasagna as one of the other commenters noted.

Ivo, this is fabulous - thanks so much - gonna try this in Italy when we go in the fall. Yummy.

[@CookingwiththeCoias]

Sounds great!! And hope your Italy trip is a great one👍👍👍

[@doreensherk287]

That looks wonderful.

We also have smoked Scamorza where I am and I’ll bet that tastes great fried too.

[@CookingwiththeCoias]

For sure👍👍

[@joealta3450]

Prova con caciocavallo fritto nel strutto 😉 Grazie Ivo!

[@CookingwiththeCoias]

Yes....caciocavallo is my number 2 go-to cheese for frying 👍👍It's also delicious and Fry's up very well🙂

You just gave me a great idea Ivo. I have some 00 flour coming in for my home made pizza and I might have to try frying a small one in olive oil and spooning it over the top till its done just to see how it comes out and by the way, that sure was a nice catfish you caught on your other channel.

[@CookingwiththeCoias]

sounds like a great idea and also glad you enjoyed the catfish episode as well :)

[@Full-Moon-Mustang]

you should have put honing on it or with tomato with rosemary slices and cucumber.
