serves/makes:
  
ready in:
  under 30 minutes

ingredients

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

directions

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.
