Crispy Fried Cheese
This fried cheese is crispy on the outside and deliciously creamy on the inside. It’s easy to prepare and perfect for sharing as a snack . Serve it with roasted small potatoes for a tasty little cheese as a dinner dish!
Ingredients
- 1 whole Caprice des Dieux cheese, preferably chilled
- Flour, for coating
- 1–2 eggs, beaten
- Breadcrumbs or Panko for extra crunch
- Oil, for frying
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- Paprika, chili powder, or dried herbs (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the coating: Set out three separate plates. Put the flour on the first plate, beaten eggs seasoned with salt and pepper on the second, and breadcrumbs mixed with your preferred spices on the third.
- Coat the cheese: Cover the whole cheese with flour, dip it into the beaten eggs, then coat it completely with breadcrumbs.
- Double coat: Dip the cheese in the egg again, then cover it with another layer of breadcrumbs. This extra coating helps keep the cheese inside while cooking.
- Cook in a pan: Heat a little oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Cook the cheese for about 2–3 minutes on each side, until golden and crispy.
- Or cook in the oven: Preheat the oven or air fryer to 200°C. Cook for about 10 minutes, turning halfway through, until the coating is golden.
- Serve: Carefully cut off the top of the crispy cheese to reveal its soft, melted center.
Serving Suggestion
Serve immediately with roasted baby potatoes. Dip the potatoes into the warm, melted cheese and enjoy!
