How to make Fried Cheese Bites
- Step 1
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.
- Step 2
Place the eggs in a bowl and beat well.
- Step 3
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.
- Step 4
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.
