How to Fry Cheese

Fried cheese is a popular appetizer that's easy to make. It doesn't really require a specific recipe. A splash of this, a sprinkle of that and a bit of creativity with spices is all you need to prepare and fry cheese sticks or chips that are a hit anytime.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Olive oil
• Small fry pan
• Shredded cheddar or Colby cheese
• Basil
• Oregano
• Pepper
• Slotted spatula
• Marinara sauce
• Ranch dressing

1. Heat a couple splashes of olive oil in a small pan. The oil is ready when it sizzles after you flick a bit of water into it.

2. Scoop together a handful of shredded cheese, form a nice little mound with it and place it in the bubbling oil. If desired, sprinkle a bit of basil, oregano, pepper or your favorite spice on top.

3. Continue to fry the cheese for about a minute. Using a slotted spatula, carefully flip the cheese over and cook like a pancake until both sides are golden brown and slightly crispy.

4. Remove the cheese from the pan and drain on paper towels. Break into chips and serve immediately with marinara sauce or ranch dressing.

Tips & Warnings

• Hard cheeses such as cheddar and Colby work well when fried because cooking at high temperatures doesn't make them as gooey as other cheeses.
