Queso frito is a common component of the Dominican breakfast, for this you will need authentic Dominican "queso de freir", a salty, stringy cheese that does not melt easily. A good "queso de freir" will keep its shape when deep fried, but as some times it is not necessarily the case we present you here a simple trick to make it a successful experience.

Time: 15 Mins
Difficulty: Easy
Serve: 4 people

Before starting to cook: No previous preparation is necessary.

Ingredients:

• 12 slices of queso de freir.
• 1/4 cup of oil for frying
• 1/2 cup of corn starch

Preparation:

1. Heat the oil in a frying pan. Cover the slices with corn starch and shake off the excess. Fry in the hot oil on one side until it turns golden brown. Turn and repeat. Do not add many slices at the same time as the oil must remain very hot to prevent the cheese from staying in the oil for too long.
   
2. Serve hot with mangú.

where do i get this cheese???

Depends where you live. Where do you live, to see if we can help you?

I'm desperate to find this cheese. Does someone knows if they sell it in Quebec city. I know there a place in Montreal but it's too far. Thanks!

Try Queso Blanco - it fries up beautifully on low heat. I buy it in blocks 4in x 4in x 2in at Costco (in a 2-pack) I don't even bother with the corn starch.

Hmmmm... Queso Blanco mexicano? That's still kinda vague for me cuz where I live there are lots of Mexicans in Chicago and LOTS of Mexican Cheeses... ?

omg.. i live in montreal.. downtown aread.. is there ANYWHERE i could get this cheese?? I'm craving it so bad ryt now!!
