Ingredients
  • 8 oz cheddar cheese cut into 1-inch cubes

  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 large eggs beaten

  2. Place beaten eggs in another dish.

  4. Dredge cheese in flour, then eggs, then panko.
  5. Heat 1 inch of oil to 350°F (175°C).
  6. Fry cheese in batches to avoid overcrowding.
  7. Fry 30-60 seconds per side, until golden brown.

Notes

Make sure the oil is hot enough to get a crispy exterior without melting the cheese too quickly.
