Smažený Sýr (Fried Cheese)

Recipe #392541 | 40 min | 10 min prep | add private note

One of the most loved dish in the Czech Republic.

SERVES 1 , 2 smažené sýry (change servings and units)

Ingredients

  • 2 slices edam cheese, each 1/3 inch thick (can use some other favourite cheese that has a simillar consistence as Edam cheese-blue cheese,...)
  • 1/4 cup flour
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 egg, lightly beaten
  • vegetable oil (for frying)
  • milk
  • salt

Directions

  1. 1
    In the begining its good to wash the cheese so the flour would stick on the cheese better when dipping.
  2. 2
    Now take three plates and put flour into one of them, egg and a little bit of milk (just to make it more smooth) and a hint of salt to the second one and the breadcrubs to the third one.
  3. 3
    (you need to mix the egg with milk with a fork so you cant see the yolk, egg white and milk but a kind of orange liquid)
  4. 4
    Dip cheese slices into flour to form a light coating on all surfaces.
  5. 5
    Dip each slice into lightly beaten egg and coat completely.
  6. 6
    Dip each slice into breadcrumbs and coat completely, pat crumbs onto any areas that are not coated.
  7. 7
    If needed repeat the point 4. and 5.- tastes better.
  8. 8
    Pour oil into deep frying pan to a depth of 1/2 inch. Heat to 375 degrees F.
  9. 9
    Carefully place slices in pan and fry on one side until golden-brown.
  10. 10
    Turn and fry on the other side until golden brown. Pay attention so the cheese doesnt get out from the "coat"!
  11. 11
    Serve with french fries and tatar sauce/ketchup.

Very delicious and appetizing! I served with catsup. For breadcrumbs I used Soft Breadcrumbs. Thanks, Chef #553214! Made for Eggs and Dairy Tag Game.
