Cheese Curds

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Preparing the Breading

    In a shallow bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornmeal, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.

  2. 2

    Egg Mixture

    In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined.

  3. 3

    Coating the Cheese Curds

    Dip each cheese curd into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off. Then, coat the curd in the flour mixture, pressing lightly to adhere.

  4. 4

    Heating the Oil

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

  5. 5

    Frying the Curds

    Carefully add the breaded cheese curds to the hot oil in batches, avoiding overcrowding. Fry for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown.

  6. 6

    Draining the Curds

    Using a slotted spoon, remove the fried curds from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.

  7. 7

    Serving

    Serve the cheese curds hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
