Cooking

Heat Oil
In a deep frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium 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.

Fry the Cheese
Carefully add the breaded Fontina cheese cubes to the hot oil in small batches. Fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Do not overcrowd the pan.
