Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb mozzarella cheese, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup panko bread crumbs
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • Oil for frying
  • 1 jar (15 oz) marinara sauce
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1 tablespoon chopped parsley
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Prepare the coating by whisking together flour, panko, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a shallow dish. In another dish, mix eggs and milk until combined.
