Cheese Curds

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Breading

    In a shallow bowl, combine flour, cornstarch, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. In another bowl, whisk together the egg and milk. In a third bowl, place the breadcrumbs.

  2. 2

    Bread the Cheese Curds

    Dip each cheese curd first into the flour mixture, then into the egg mixture, and finally coat with breadcrumbs. Ensure they are fully covered.

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep 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. Fry until golden brown, approximately 2-3 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve warm with four pepper aioli for dipping.
