Ingredients
- 250 grams Cheddar cheese
- 100 grams Flour
- 50 grams Cornstarch
- 2 large Eggs
- 150 grams Breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 500 milliliters Vegetable oil
Directions
Step 1
Cut the cheddar cheese into 2 cm cubes and set aside.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, mix the flour and cornstarch together.
Step 3
In another bowl, beat the eggs until well combined.
Step 4
In a third bowl, mix the breadcrumbs with salt, black pepper, and paprika.
Step 5
Dip each cheese cube first into the flour mixture, making sure it is fully coated.
Step 6
Next, dip the floured cheese cube into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess egg to drip off.
Step 7
Finally, roll the cube in the breadcrumb mixture until completely covered. Repeat the process for all cheese cubes.
Step 8
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep saucepan over medium-high heat until it reaches 180°C (350°F), or until a small piece of bread sizzles and browns in about 30 seconds.
Step 9
Carefully lower the cheese cubes into the hot oil in batches, frying for about 1 to 2 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
Step 10
Remove the fried cheese cubes with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
Step 11
Serve immediately while hot, with your choice of dipping sauce.
