Breaded cheese is a decadent dish made by coating slices or cubes of cheese—such as mozzarella, cheddar, or halloumi—in seasoned breadcrumbs before frying or baking to a golden crisp. This indulgent treat is popular in various cuisines, including Italian, American, and Central European, where variations like mozzarella sticks or fried cheese curds originate. The crispy exterior contrasts with the gooey, melted cheese interior, making it a favorite appetizer or snack. While breaded cheese is rich in calcium and protein due to its dairy content, it is also high in calories, saturated fat, and sodium, especially when deep-fried. Moderation is key to enjoying this comfort food, and healthier preparation methods, such as baking or air frying, can help reduce added fats. Pair it with fresh vegetables or a light dip for a more balanced option.
