Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Cheese blocks (e.g., mozzarella or cheddar)
- 150 grams All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 3 large Eggs
- 3 tablespoons Whole milk
- 200 grams Breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 500 milliliters Vegetable oil (for frying)
Instructions
Cut the cheese into rectangular blocks, approximately 1 inch by 2 inches in size.
In a shallow dish, combine the flour, salt, and black pepper.
In a separate dish, whisk together the eggs and milk until fully combined.
In another shallow dish, mix the breadcrumbs with the dried oregano.
Dip each piece of cheese first into the flour mixture, ensuring it's fully coated.
Then, dip the floured cheese into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off.
Finally, coat the cheese in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere the breadcrumbs well.
Repeat the breading process for a double coating, if desired, for extra crispiness.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep pan or fryer to 180°C (350°F). Ensure there is enough oil to submerge the cheese.
Carefully add the breaded cheese pieces to the hot oil in batches, frying for approximately 1-2 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
Using a slotted spoon, remove the fried cheese from the oil and transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Serve the breaded cheese while hot, accompanied by your favorite dipping sauce, if desired.
