PREP
Whisk ½ of an egg in a shallow dish with a splash of water. Prepare two shallow dishes: one containing the flour (seasoned lightly), and one containing the breadcrumbs. Coat the bocconcini balls in the seasoned flour, then in the egg mixture, and then in the breadcrumbs. When coating in the breadcrumbs, press them into the bocconcini balls so they stick and coat evenly. Set aside in the fridge for 10-15 minutes.
FRYING MOMENT
Place a pan over high heat with enough oil to shallow fry. When hot, fry the crumbed cheese until golden, 20-30 seconds (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan, drain on paper towel, and season.
SALAD
In a salad bowl, combine the honey-mustard dressing with 10ml of olive oil. Add the drained beans, the halved tomatoes, the diced Cucumber, the carrot ribbons, and the rinsed green leaves. Toss to coat and season.
DINNER IS READY
Bowl up the salad and top with the golden cheese balls. Enjoy, Chef!
