Picture this: crispy, golden-brown cheese bites that ooze deliciousness with each bite. These seasoned deep-fried cheddar cheese cubes are the perfect blend of crisp and gooey.
vegetable oil
1/2 pound Cheddar cheese
1 cup flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2 eggs
1 cup finely ground panko bread crumbs
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
In a medium heavy pot, bring 2 inches of vegetable oil up to 375 degrees F.
Meanwhile, cut cheddar into 1/2-inch cubes. In a small bowl mix flour, salt, and pepper. In a second bowl, beat the two eggs. In a third bowl, combine panko, oregano, and garlic powder.
Working two at a time, roll cheese cubes in flour, then egg, then bread crumbs. BE SURE TO COAT VERY WELL IN EACH STEP. Failure to completely coat cheese can result in melted cheese leaking into the cooking oil while frying.
Frying no more than 5 cubes at a time, work in batches. Fry cheese cubes for about 1 to 1 1/2 minutes per batch then transfer to paper towels to drain. Only fry as many as will be eaten relatively quickly as the cheese will begin to congeal within a few minutes of cooling.
Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.
This iconic whiskey is a "Jack of all trades" when it comes to cooking. Toss it in some pasta, as a savory dipping sauce, and even bake it into something sweet.
Love buffalo wings? Get that same hot, zippy flavor in everything from deviled eggs to enchiladas. And of course: wings.
