Prepare the Breading: In a shallow dish, combine the All-Purpose Flour. In a second shallow dish, beat the Egg. In a third shallow dish, combine the Panko Bread Crumbs and Seasoning ingredients.
Coat the Mozzarella: Dredge each Mozzarella coin in the Flour, then dip in the beaten Egg, and finally coat thoroughly with the Panko mixture.
Fry the Mozzarella: Heat the Vegetable Oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Carefully place the coated Mozzarella coins in the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.
Cook until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove the coins with a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Serve immediately.
