Fried breaded cheese can be served as a quick snack with beer or as a separate dish. For cooking, choose a hard type of cheese, it retains its shape better when fried. The cheese should be cut into sticks and breaded in egg and breadcrumbs. It is best to serve cheese sticks with lingonberry or other berry sauce.

How to cook Fried cheese in breadcrumbs

Step 1

Bread the cheese. Cut the cheese into long slices. Break the eggs into a separate bowl and beat them with salt and pepper. In another bowl, prepare the breadcrumbs. Dip the cheese first in the egg mixture and then in the breadcrumbs. This step should be repeated several times so that the cheese becomes very crispy.

Step 2

Fry the cheese. Dip the cheese sticks into a pan with heated oil. Fry for 3-5 minutes until golden brown. Then remove the cheese sticks and place them on paper towels to remove excess fat.

Fried cheese in breadcrumbs - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

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

Yes! While firm cheeses like mozzarella, halloumi, or paneer work best for frying, you can experiment with other types. Just ensure the cheese holds its shape when heated.

How do I make this recipe gluten-free?

Use gluten-free breadcrumbs or crushed gluten-free crackers for coating. Ensure all other ingredients, like spices, are certified gluten-free.

What oil is best for frying the cheese?

Use an oil with a high smoke point, like vegetable, canola, or peanut oil, for crispy results without burning.

Can I bake instead of fry the breaded cheese?

Yes, bake at 400°F (200°C) on a parchment-lined tray for 10-15 minutes, flipping halfway, for a lighter option. Spray with oil for crispiness.

What dips pair well with fried cheese?

Try marinara, garlic aioli, sweet chili sauce, or yogurt-based dips like tzatziki for a refreshing contrast.

How long can I store leftovers, and how do I reheat them?

Store in an airtight container for up to 2 days in the fridge. Reheat in an oven or air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for 5 minutes to maintain crispiness.

Can I freeze breaded cheese before frying?

Yes! Freeze breaded slices on a tray, then transfer to a bag for up to 1 month. Fry straight from frozen, adding 1-2 extra minutes.

How can I make this recipe low-carb?

Replace breadcrumbs with crushed pork rinds, almond flour, or grated Parmesan for a keto-friendly version.

Why is my cheese melting too quickly during frying?

Your oil may be too hot. Keep it at 350–375°F (175–190°C). Also, ensure thick coatings and chill breaded cheese for 15 minutes before frying.
