Cheese Curds

Tangy House Dip

Method

Preparing the Cheese Curds

  1. 1

    Prepare the Breading

    In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until well mixed.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Wet Mixture

    In another bowl, whisk together the egg and milk until fully combined.

  3. 3

    Coat the Cheese Curds

    Dip each cheese curd into the wet mixture, allowing excess to drip off, then coat in the seasoned flour mixture. Set aside on a plate.

Frying the Cheese Curds

  1. 4

    Heat Oil

    In a large, deep skillet or pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  2. 5

    Fry the Cheese Curds

    Fry the coated cheese curds in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown, flipping halfway through.

  3. 6

    Drain and Cool

    Using a slotted spoon, remove the fried cheese curds and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

Making the Tangy House Dip

  1. 7

    Combine Ingredients

    In a bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, sour cream, lemon juice, hot sauce, dried dill, and salt until smooth and well incorporated.

  2. 8

    Chill

    Cover the dip and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld.

Serving

  1. 9

    Plate the Dish

    Serve the hot cheese curds on a platter with the tangy house dip on the side for dipping.
