CZECH FRIED CHEESE & BEHEROVKA | Chef's Gear Recipes

cheese

🥗Healthier: low-fat cheese

💰Cheaper: processed cheese

Low-fat cheese reduces calories while processed cheese is more affordable.

Prepare a drink called Czech Mule with ice cubes, lime, 50ml of Becherovka, and ginger ale.

For the fried cheese, start with good-quality cheese, like goda.

Prepare the egg mixture by adding a dash of milk to the eggs and beating them together.

Put on gloves and set up three bowls: one with flour, one with the egg mixture, and one with bread crumbs.

Coat the cheese slices in flour, ensuring they are fully covered.

Dip the floured cheese into the egg mixture, pressing down to ensure it's coated.

Press the egg-coated cheese into the bread crumbs, making sure there are no cheese bits poking through.

Place the breaded cheese slices in the freezer for 15-20 minutes to help the crumbs stick during frying.

Prepare the tartar sauce by mixing mayonnaise and Greek yogurt in a 2:1 ratio, adding chopped shallots, parsley, garlic, carnations, seeded mustard, salt, pepper, and lime juice.

Refrigerate the tartar sauce for at least an hour to thicken.

Heat a deep fat fryer to 170 degrees Celsius.

Carefully dip the cheese into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the fryer.

Fry the cheese until golden brown, then remove and place on paper towels to absorb excess oil.

Plate the fried cheese and serve with the tartar sauce.
