Cut the cheese into sticks or use a round, square, or triangular cookie cutter to shape the cheese into pieces at least 1 centimeter thick.
Place the eggs in a bowl and beat well.
Dip the cheese pieces into the beaten egg, then coat them in breadcrumbs, ensuring you form a medium-thick crust that completely covers the cheese.
In a frying pan or deep pot, heat a generous amount of oil. Once the oil is hot, fry the cheese bites until golden brown. Be careful not to fry them for too long, as the cheese will start to melt and the bites may open up.
Ensure the cheese pieces are well-coated to prevent them from opening up while frying.
Use a thermometer to monitor the oil temperature for consistent frying results.
Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
Can I use other types of cheese?
Yes, you can use Gouda, Mozzarella, Cheddar, or any cheese that melts well.
What sauces pair well with fried cheese bites?
Mayonnaise, ketchup, barbecue sauce, or spicy chili sauce are great options.
How do I prevent the cheese bites from opening up while frying?
Ensure the cheese is well-coated with egg and breadcrumbs, and avoid over-frying.
Can I bake these instead of frying?
Yes, you can bake them at 400°F (200°C) until golden brown, but the texture may differ slightly.
What oil is best for frying cheese bites?
Use a neutral oil with a high smoke point, such as vegetable or canola oil.
