Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 450 grams Cheddar cheese block
- 120 grams All-purpose flour
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 200 grams Breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 500 milliliters Vegetable oil
Instructions
Cut the cheddar cheese block into uniform 2.5 cm squares. Place the squares on a tray lined with parchment paper and freeze for about 30 minutes to firm up.
Prepare three shallow bowls. In the first bowl, place the all-purpose flour. In the second bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until smooth. In the third bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Remove the cheese squares from the freezer. Dredge each square first in the flour, ensuring an even coating. Then dip it into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off, and finally coat it in the breadcrumb mixture. Press the breadcrumbs gently to ensure they stick well. Repeat the process for all cheese squares.
Once coated, place the cheese squares back on the tray and return them to the freezer for 10 minutes. This helps prevent the cheese from oozing out during frying.
In a deep, heavy-bottomed pot, heat the vegetable oil to 180°C (350°F). Use a thermometer to maintain the temperature for even frying.
Carefully drop 4-5 cheese squares into the hot oil, avoiding overcrowding the pot. Fry for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and crispy, using a slotted spoon to turn them if necessary.
Remove the fried cheese squares with a slotted spoon and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Repeat the frying process with the remaining cheese squares, ensuring the oil temperature is maintained between batches.
Serve the Delices De Fromage Deep Fried Cheese Squares immediately with your favorite dipping sauce, such as marinara or ranch, for an extra burst of flavor.
