Cheese Curds

Method

Cheese Curds Preparation

  1. 1

    Set Up Breading Station

    In three separate shallow bowls, set up your breading station. In the first bowl, place the all-purpose flour mixed with salt and black pepper. In the second bowl, beat the eggs with milk. In the third bowl, add the breadcrumbs.

  2. 2

    Bread the Cheese Curds

    Take each cheese curd and first coat it in the flour mixture, shaking off the excess. Next, dip it into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off. Finally, coat it thoroughly with breadcrumbs. Repeat until all cheese curds are breaded.

  3. 3

    Heat Oil for Frying

    In a deep frying pan or pot, heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  4. 4

    Fry the Cheese Curds

    Carefully add the breaded cheese curds to the hot oil in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown, turning occasionally. Use a slotted spoon to remove them and drain on a paper towel.

Marinara Sauce Preparation

  1. 5

    Sauté Garlic

    In a medium saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

  2. 6

    Simmer Sauce

    Add the canned crushed tomatoes, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, black pepper, and sugar to the saucepan. Stir well and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to low and let simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
