Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to fry cheese in a frying pan? Very simple and fast. To begin, prepare the necessary ingredients according to the list. The cheese for this snack needs to be dense, not crumbly, and will retain its shape when fried. In addition to cheese, Adyghe cheese, halloumi, tofu, suluguni, etc. are suitable. Vegetable oil should be suitable for frying. I have olive.

Step 2

Step 2
Remove the cheese from the brine and dry with paper towels. Then let the cheese sit for 5-7 minutes so that any remaining moisture comes out of the pores. This must be done, otherwise the moisture will not allow the cheese to fry — it will stew.

Step 3

Step 3
Cut the cheese into rectangular slices about 1 cm thick. I got 4 slices.

Step 4

Step 4
Brush the cheese slices on all sides with vegetable oil. If you are going to fry the cheese in a regular frying pan, you can additionally roll the cheese on all sides in corn or potato starch or flour. Be sure to shake off any excess starch to prevent it from burning in the pan. I fried the cheese on a grill pan, so I didnʼt do any breading.

Step 5

Step 5
Heat a frying pan over medium heat. Place the cheese slices and fry until a bright pattern appears from the pan. Then turn the cheese slices over and fry until golden brown on the other side. It is best to cook in a non-stick pan. The cheese wonʼt stick. You will learn how to choose a frying pan and oil for frying from articles on these topics; links to them are at the end of this recipe.

Step 6

Step 6
Transfer the hot grilled cheese to a plate and serve immediately. You can serve the cheese sweet with honey and nuts or salty with fresh basil leaves and cherry tomatoes. Bon appetit!
