Fried Cheese with Garlic

Cookinero 28 Apr 2025

Fried cheese with garlic in a frying pan is one of the simplest delicacies of European and Mediterranean cuisine. Adyghe cheese is used as a base. Its soft consistency and not very sour taste make this cheese a universal product. Fried cheese is included in salad recipes, appetizers, but is also used as a separate dish with bread and hot drinks. Adyghe cheese contains a lot of calcium and vitamins.

How to cook Fried Cheese with Garlic

Fried Cheese with Garlic

Brown the cheese for 3-4 minutes and place on a paper napkin to absorb excess oil.

Fried Cheese with Garlic - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes! While this recipe works best with firm cheeses like halloumi or paneer, you can also use mozzarella or cheddar. Just note that softer cheeses may melt faster, so adjust cooking time accordingly.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in a skillet for best texture, as microwaving may make it soggy.
Absolutely! Fried cheese is naturally low in carbs. Just ensure the cheese you use doesn’t contain added sugars, and skip any sugary dipping sauces.
Yes, substitute butter with olive oil, coconut oil, or a plant-based butter alternative. Just be mindful of smoke points when frying at moderate heat.
Serve it as an appetizer with a dipping sauce like marinara, tzatziki, or honey. It also pairs well with fresh veggies, crusty bread, or a simple salad.
Freezing isn’t recommended, as the texture may become rubbery when reheated. It’s best enjoyed fresh.
Make sure your pan is well-heated and lightly greased before adding the cheese. Non-stick or cast-iron pans work best for this recipe.
Yes! Lightly coat the cheese in oil and air-fry at 400°F (200°C) for 5-7 minutes, flipping halfway. Adjust time based on cheese thickness.
Try red pepper flakes, cayenne for heat, or smoked cumin for depth. A pinch of chili powder or sweet paprika alternatives also work well.
