Ingredients:
10 Castelvetrano olives, pitted and halved
1/2 pound hot Italian sausage
1 egg
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp salt and pepper
1 Tbsp garlic powder
1 Tbsp onion powder
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
1/2 cup chopped parsley
10 small pieces of mozzarella cheese
1 cup all-purpose flour
4 beaten eggs
1 cup Italian breadcrumbs mixed with 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
3 cups cooking oil

Instructions:
Heat oil in a large (7.25qt) Dutch oven over medium-high heat, heating to 350F.
While the oil heats up, mix together sausage, egg, oregano, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, parmesan cheese, and parsley.
Stuff olive halves with sausage mixture, adding a small piece of mozzarella in the middle. Press together olive halves, using sausage mixture to help hold everything together.
Dredge each stuffed olive in all-purpose flour, then in the beaten eggs, then in the breadcrumb mixture. Repeat so each olive is dredged twice.
Fry olives for 3-4 minutes, until golden and crispy. Gently remove and drain, then serve in an Olive baking dish. Enjoy!
