Method
Preparing the Cheese Curds

Mixing the Cheese Curds
In a medium bowl, combine the fresh cheese curds, whole milk, and salt. Toss gently until the cheese curds are evenly coated with the milk and salt mixture.

Chill the Mixture
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Coating the Cheese Curds
Remove the chilled cheese curds from the refrigerator. Dip each curd first in the flour, shaking off the excess, then in the beaten eggs, and finally in the panko breadcrumb mixture, ensuring each curd is well-coated.
Frying the Cheese Curds
- 5
Heating the Oil
In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can test the oil by dropping a small piece of bread into it; if it sizzles, it’s ready.

Frying the Cheese Curds
Carefully add the coated cheese curds to the hot oil in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for about 2-3 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove the fried curds and transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
