Instructions
- Cut the venison loin into bite-sized pieces.
- Flatten each piece slightly with a meat mallet.
- Insert a cube of mozzarella cheese into the center of each piece.
- Fold the venison around the cheese, forming a nugget shape.
- In a bowl, mix the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
- In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until well combined.
- Place the breadcrumbs in a third bowl.
- Dredge each venison nugget in the flour mixture, ensuring even coating.
- Dip the floured nuggets into the beaten eggs.
- Coat the nuggets with breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat.
- Once the oil is hot, add the venison nuggets in batches.
- Fry the nuggets for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
- Remove the nuggets from the pan and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- Serve the venison nuggets hot while the cheese is still gooey.
Notes
- Ensure each venison nugget is thoroughly sealed to prevent any cheese leakage while frying.
- Use a meat thermometer to guarantee the venison reaches a safe internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
- Pair the venison nuggets with marinara sauce for a flavorful dipping option.
