1
Prepare the Marinara Sauce
In a saucepan over medium heat, combine canned tomatoes, garlic, onion, olive oil, salt, and basil. Simmer for about 15-20 minutes until the sauce thickens. Set aside.
2
Prepare the Breading Station
Set up three bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs and milk, and one with breadcrumbs mixed with salt and pepper.
3
Bread the Cheese Curds
Dip each cheese curd first into the flour, then the egg mixture, and finally coat them with breadcrumbs. Set aside on a plate.
4
Fry the Cheese Curds
Heat oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the breaded cheese curds in batches. Fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.
5
Serve
Serve the fried cheese curds hot with the marinara sauce on the side for dipping.
