Ingredients

• 500 grams Cheese blocks (e.g., mozzarella or cheddar)
• 150 grams All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 3 large Eggs
• 3 tablespoons Whole milk
• 200 grams Breadcrumbs
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 500 milliliters Vegetable oil (for frying)

Directions

Step 1

Cut the cheese into rectangular blocks, approximately 1 inch by 2 inches in size.

Step 2

In a shallow dish, combine the flour, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

In a separate dish, whisk together the eggs and milk until fully combined.

Step 4

In another shallow dish, mix the breadcrumbs with the dried oregano.

Step 5

Dip each piece of cheese first into the flour mixture, ensuring it's fully coated.

Step 6

Then, dip the floured cheese into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off.

Step 7

Finally, coat the cheese in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere the breadcrumbs well.

Step 8

Repeat the breading process for a double coating, if desired, for extra crispiness.

Step 9

Heat the vegetable oil in a deep pan or fryer to 180°C (350°F). Ensure there is enough oil to submerge the cheese.

Step 10

Carefully add the breaded cheese pieces to the hot oil in batches, frying for approximately 1-2 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.

Step 11

Using a slotted spoon, remove the fried cheese from the oil and transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Step 12

Serve the breaded cheese while hot, accompanied by your favorite dipping sauce, if desired.
