Fried cheese is not a new concept. Mozzarella sticks have been around for a long time and even can be bought in the frozen foods aisle. All you need is cheese and oil to make fried cheese taste good, but there are some tricks and new ideas to take your fried cheese appetizers to the next level.
We recommend moving away from the classic mozzarella and on to goat cheese, provolone, and cheddar. Oh yes, these flavor-packed cheeses will surprise your taste buds.
We also find it is best to coat or wrap your cheese and freeze it before frying. This way you can get a crunchy exterior and gooey interior.
When it comes to frying, you can choose any high-heat oil but we recommend extra virgin olive oil (evoo).
Now that you know our tips, check out 3 recipes for tasty fried cheese appetizers you can make now.
