Fried bread with cheese - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Can I use a different type of cheese for this recipe?

Yes! Any meltable cheese like mozzarella, cheddar, or even gouda works well. Avoid hard cheeses like Parmesan, as they won’t melt as smoothly.

How can I make this recipe gluten-free?

Simply use gluten-free bread. The egg and cheese batter is naturally gluten-free, so it’s an easy swap.

Can I prepare the batter ahead of time?

Yes, you can mix the batter (eggs, cheese, and seasoning) up to a day in advance. Store it in an airtight container in the fridge.

What’s the best way to reheat leftovers?

For best results, reheat in a toaster oven or skillet over medium heat for 1-2 minutes per side to keep the bread crispy.

Can I freeze fried bread with cheese?

Freezing isn’t recommended, as the texture may become soggy when thawed. It’s best enjoyed fresh.

What are tasty toppings or dips to serve with this?

Try sour cream, salsa, avocado, or a drizzle of hot honey for extra flavor. It’s also great with a side salad.

How do I prevent the bread from getting soggy when frying?

Use slightly stale or toasted bread, and avoid over-soaking it in the batter—just a quick dip ensures crispiness.

Can I make this recipe dairy-free?

Yes! Use dairy-free cheese and a plant-based milk (like almond milk) to thin the batter if needed.

Is there a way to make this lower in carbs?

Swap regular bread for low-carb or keto-friendly bread, and adjust portion sizes if needed.
