Cheese Curds

Method

Preparation and Cooking

  1. 1

    Prepare the Spicy Ranch Sauce

    In a bowl, combine the ranch dressing, hot sauce, chili powder, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix well and set aside.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Cheese Curds

    In a bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk. In another bowl, combine the flour, cornstarch, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Set up a breading station with the cheese curds, egg mixture, and bread crumbs.

  3. 3

    Bread the Cheese Curds

    Dip each cheese curd in the flour mixture, then the egg mixture, and finally coat with bread crumbs. Make sure they are fully covered.

  4. 4

    Fry the Cheese Curds

    In a deep pan, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the breaded cheese curds in batches. Fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the fried cheese curds hot with the spicy ranch sauce for dipping.
