Ingredients
Queso Frito
Preparation
1. Prepare the Cheese
Cut the Queso Blanco or Cotija cheese into thick slices (about 1/2 inch thick).
2. Dredge the Cheese
Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes: one with flour mixed with salt and pepper, one with the beaten egg, and one with breadcrumbs. Dredge each cheese slice first in the flour, then dip it in the egg, and finally coat it with breadcrumbs.
3. Fry the Cheese
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the breaded cheese slices and fry until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.
4. Prepare the Guava Sauce
For the guava sauce, blend 1 cup of guava paste with 1/2 cup of water until smooth. Heat in a saucepan over low heat until warm.
5. Serve
Serve the fried cheese hot, drizzled with the homemade guava sauce.
