Cheese Curds

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Cheese Curds

    In a bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and set aside.

  2. 2

    Breading Station

    In another bowl, whisk together the egg and milk. Set aside. In a third bowl, place the breadcrumbs.

  3. 3

    Coat the Cheese Curds

    Take each cheese curd and dip it first into the flour mixture, then into the egg mixture, and finally coat it with breadcrumbs. Repeat for all curds.

  4. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep frying pan, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat.

  5. 5

    Fry the Curds

    Once the oil is hot, carefully add the breaded cheese curds in batches. Fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes on each side.

  6. 6

    Prepare the Ranch Dip

    In a small bowl, mix ranch dressing with hot sauce. Adjust to taste.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Remove the fried cheese curds and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve hot with the jacked-up ranch dip.
