Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 oz Gouda cheese block
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 Large eggs
- 2 tbsp Milk
- 1 cup Breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Paprika
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Ground black pepper
- 2 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
Instructions
Cut the gouda cheese block into 8 equal-sized wedges.
Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls: one with flour, one with eggs whisked together with milk, and one with breadcrumbs mixed with grated Parmesan, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Coat each cheese wedge in flour, shaking off any excess.
Dip the floured wedge into the egg mixture, ensuring it is fully coated.
Dredge the egg-coated wedge in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere the coating.
Place the prepared wedges on a plate or tray. Chill in the refrigerator for 10 minutes to help the coating stick.
In a deep frying pan or heavy-bottomed pot, heat vegetable oil over medium heat to 350°F (175°C).
Carefully fry the chilled gouda wedges in batches, 2-3 at a time, for 1-2 minutes per side or until golden brown and crispy.
Using a slotted spoon, transfer the fried wedges to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce, such as marinara or honey mustard.
