1 package of Ovoline fresh mozzarella (about 15, cut in half to make 30)
1 egg plus 1 tablespoon of water for egg wash
15 fresh basil leaves, plus more for garnish
30 sheets fresh wonton wrappers
1 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 cup of your favorite warm tomato sauce (canned or homemade)

Directions:
1. Drain the mozzarella on a a paper towel.
2. Whisk the egg and water together with a fork.
3. Wash the basil leaves and then stack 5 together...roll them together into a little parcel, cut them length wise into little strips.
4. On top of each wonton, place an Ovoline, cut in half and sprinkle a bit of the basil on top.
5. Brush the outside of the wonton with the egg wash. Press ends together and tuck the ends underneath. Let rest for about a minute.
6. Heat the olive oil in a large pan till it reaches 350 degrees.
7. Place the little parcels in the pan and cook (do not crowd, about 8 or 10 in the pan are just right. Cook till golden brown on each side, about a minute.
8. Drain on paper towels and sprinkle with grated cheese. Serve immediately with your favorite warm tomato sauce.
