Ingredients:

Serving

1 lb part-skim mozzarella cheese
2 eggs, beaten
2/3 cup king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour
3/4 cup seasoned bread crumbs
1 garlic clove, minced
1 tbsp plus 1/4 cup olive oil, divided
1 can (28 oz) italian crushed tomatoes
1 tsp dried oregano
2 tsp sugar
1/4 tsp dried basil
1/8 tsp pepper

Directions:

Cut cheese into twenty-four 1/4-in. slices. Place the eggs, flour and bread crumbs in separate shallow bowls. Dip cheese slices in eggs, then coat with flour. Dip cheese again in eggs and coat with crumbs. Place on waxed paper-lined baking sheets; refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, saute garlic in 1 tablespoon oil for 1 minute; add the tomatoes, oregano, sugar, basil and pepper. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 40-45 minutes or until slightly thickened.
In a large skillet, cook cheese slices in remaining oil over medium heat for 30-60 seconds on each side or until golden brown. Drain on paper towels. Serve with sauce. Yield: 2 dozen appetizers (2-1/2 cups sauce).
