Fried “Scamorza” cheese
Ingredients:
• Milk (just enough to coat the cheese)
• All-purpose white flour (just enough to coat the cheese)
• Whole Scamorza cheese (alternate: Caciocavallo cheese)
• Extra Virgin Olive oil (just enough to coat the bottom of your frying pan)

Process:
• Cut the Scamorza cheese into slices about ¼ inch thick (6 – 7 mm’s) (as the scamorza is pear shaped, the slices will be round disc like shapes)
• Dip the sliced Scamorza in the milk, then coat all around with the flour, and set aside. Do this for all your sliced Scamorza.
• Place them in the fridge for a minimum of 1 hour.
• Coat a frying pan with some extra virgin olive oil – with your stove on medium heat, once it reaches about 300 degrees F., place your sliced Scamorza into the pan.
• Cook for about a minute on each side (color should start to turn a bit golden)
• Remove and serve hot/warm.
• Enjoy
