Cheese Curds

Method

Cheese Curds Preparation

  1. 1

    Coat the Cheese Curds

    Begin by setting up a breading station. Place the flour in one shallow dish, beaten eggs in another shallow dish, and breadcrumbs mixed with salt and pepper in a third dish.

  2. 2

    Bread the Curds

    Take each mozzarella cheese curd and first coat it in flour, shaking off the excess. Then dip it in the beaten eggs, allowing the excess to drip off, and finally coat it in the breadcrumb mixture. Repeat until all curds are breaded.

Frying

  1. 3

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep frying pan or pot, heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can test if the oil is ready by dropping a small piece of bread into it; if it sizzles and turns golden brown, it's ready.

  2. 4

    Fry the Curds

    Carefully place the breaded cheese curds into the hot oil in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for 2-3 minutes or until the curds are golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove the curds and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Sauce Preparation

  1. 5

    Make the Haus Ranch Sauce

    In a mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise, buttermilk, chopped dill pickles, garlic powder, and paprika. Mix well until smooth and set aside.

  2. 6

    Make the Haus Curry Sauce

    In another bowl, mix together mayonnaise, curry powder, honey, and a splash of water if desired for consistency. Adjust seasoning to taste.
