Spicy Breaded Cheese Curds Recipe

Cooking Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Breading Station

   Set up a breading station with three bowls: one for flour, one for the egg mixture, and one for the cornmeal mixture.

2. 2

   Mix Egg and Milk

   In the second bowl, whisk together the egg and milk until well combined.

3. 3

   Season the Cornmeal

   In the third bowl, combine cornmeal, cayenne pepper, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.

4. 4

   Bread the Cheese Curds

   Take a cheese curd, coat it in the flour, then dip it into the egg mixture, and finally coat it in the seasoned cornmeal. Repeat with all cheese curds.

5. 5

   Heat the Oil

   In a deep skillet or frying pan, heat the oil over medium heat until hot (around 350°F or 175°C).

6. 6

   Fry the Cheese Curds

   Carefully add the breaded cheese curds to the hot oil in batches, frying until golden brown (about 2-3 minutes per batch).

7. 7

   Drain and Serve

   Use a slotted spoon to transfer the fried cheese curds to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
