Fried Cheesy Bites Recipe

Fried Cheesy Bites Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Tomato Sauce

   In a saucepan, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant. Add chopped tomatoes, sugar, salt, and pepper. Simmer for about 20 minutes until thickened. Stir in fresh basil just before serving.

2. 2

   Prepare the Halloumi

   Cut the halloumi cheese into bite-sized cubes. Set up a breading station with three bowls: one for flour, one for beaten eggs, and one for breadcrumbs.

3. 3

   Bread the Cheese

   Dip each halloumi piece in flour, then in the beaten eggs, and finally coat with breadcrumbs. Ensure they are well-coated.

4. 4

   Fry the Cheesy Bites

   In a deep frying pan, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Fry the breaded halloumi cubes until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes on each side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

5. 5

   Serve

   Serve the fried cheesy bites hot with the house-made tomato sauce for dipping.
