Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to fry cheese with garlic 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. Cheese cheese, Adyghe cheese, halloumi, tofu, suluguni, etc. are suitable. You can replace butter with vegetable oil or take a mixture of two oils. You can choose the spices to your liking.

Step 2

Step 2
Cut the cheese into slices or cubes. If you have brined cheese, remove it from the brine and dry it 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. I took home-made Adyghe cheese. It is great for these purposes. You will find the recipe for making homemade Adyghe cheese below the steps.

Step 3
Peel the garlic and pass through a press. Instead of fresh garlic, you can use ½ tsp. dry.

Step 4

Step 4
Heat the butter in a frying pan over low heat. Add garlic, paprika, ground pepper and salt. Fry, stirring, for a few seconds until a bright aroma from the garlic appears. It is important not to overcook the garlic so that it does not char.

Place cheese slices in a frying pan and fry for 3-5 minutes until golden brown.

Step 6

Step 6
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.
