QUESO FRITO (EASY FRIED CHEESE)

Find out just how easy it is to fry cheese and make this special treat that we love so much.

Ingredients

Queso de freír | Oil for frying

Prepare

Cut the cheese into 12 slices (2" x 3", ¼" thick, approx). Pat dry the cheese with a paper towel to minimize splatters.

Frying

Heat the oil over medium-high heat[350 ºF or 175 ºC] in a medium pan, and fry the cheese 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.

Serving

Serve hot. This fried cheese goes great with our Puré de auyama (pumpking mash), and Puré de yautía (malanga mash).
