Cut the top off each cherry tomato and hollow them out.
Put a little pesto inside, along with a small cube of mozzarella.
Dip each stuffed tomato in flour, then in beaten eggs, and finally in breadcrumbs. For a double coating, dip again in eggs and breadcrumbs to ensure the tomato is well covered. For easier handling, place the cherry tomato down and shake the flour/egg/breadcrumb container to coat it more easily.
Fry for about 4 minutes, or until golden brown on all sides.
And there you have it, your Margherita balls are ready!
