1 lb packaged mozzarella
 2 eggs, beaten
 1/2 cup flour
 1 cup flavored bread crumbs
 Vegetable oil for frying
 Slice the mozzarella into flat wedges (it's easier to fry this
 way).  Set up 3 bowls, one with flour, one with egg, one with the
 bread crumbs.
 Coat each piece of cheese first with flour, then egg, then bread
 crumbs, then throw immediately into the hot oil to fry (the coating
 doesn't turn out as well if you let it sit around inside its
 coating).
 Fry for a minute or two on each side until coating is golden brown
 and the cheese is melted.
 Sprinkle with lemon juice and serve.
 Note: The difficult part of this is keeping the cheese from escaping
 the coating while it's frying. For best results, don't let the oil
 get too hot while frying, and try to keep the oil level at about
 1/4 inch deep at all times during the process (i.e., do not deep
 fry).
