Instructions
Heat the Oil
- Pour oil into a frying pan. Heat over medium flame until hot but not smoking.
Fry the Pizzelle
- Place pizzelle in hot oil carefully. Fry for 1–2 minutes until crispy and lightly golden.

Melt the Cheese

Garnish and Serve

Notes
- Use fresh mozzarella for better melt
- Add chili flakes for spice
- Use pizza sauce instead of plain tomato sauce

- Do not overcrowd the pan
- Serve immediately for best texture
- Use herbs like thyme or parsley
