Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams Cheddar cheese
- 100 grams Flour
- 50 grams Cornstarch
- 2 large Eggs
- 150 grams Breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 500 milliliters Vegetable oil
Instructions
Cut the cheddar cheese into 2 cm cubes and set aside.
In a medium bowl, mix the flour and cornstarch together.
In another bowl, beat the eggs until well combined.
In a third bowl, mix the breadcrumbs with salt, black pepper, and paprika.
Dip each cheese cube first into the flour mixture, making sure it is fully coated.
Next, dip the floured cheese cube into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess egg to drip off.
Finally, roll the cube in the breadcrumb mixture until completely covered. Repeat the process for all cheese cubes.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep saucepan over medium-high heat until it reaches 180°C (350°F), or until a small piece of bread sizzles and browns in about 30 seconds.
Carefully lower the cheese cubes into the hot oil in batches, frying for about 1 to 2 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
Remove the fried cheese cubes with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
Serve immediately while hot, with your choice of dipping sauce.
