A Cheesy Classic with a Twist

Golden Fried Cheese Cubes are the perfect snack for cheese enthusiasts. Originating from the idea of fried mozzarella sticks, these cubes provide the same satisfying crunch but in a fun, bite-sized format. Plus, you can customize the cheese you use—cheddar for a sharp kick, mozzarella for a gooey stretch, or a mix for the best of both worlds.

These little bites pair wonderfully with marinara sauce, ranch dressing, or even a sweet-and-spicy chili dip. They make an excellent appetizer for parties, game days, or whenever you need a quick, satisfying treat.

Ingredients:

• 1 lb cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a mix), cut into 1-inch cubes
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 large eggs, beaten
• 1 cup breadcrumbs (panko works great for extra crispiness)
• ½ teaspoon garlic powder
• ½ teaspoon paprika
• ¼ teaspoon black pepper
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• Oil for frying (vegetable or canola)

Directions:

Prepare the Cheese Cubes:
Cut the cheese into 1-inch cubes and pat them dry with a paper towel. This step is essential as it helps the coating adhere better to the cheese.

Set Up Your Coating Stations:
In three separate bowls, place the flour in one, beat the eggs in the second, and combine the breadcrumbs with garlic powder, paprika, black pepper, and salt in the third.

Coat the Cheese:
Dip each cheese cube into the flour, then into the beaten eggs, and finally roll them in the seasoned breadcrumbs until they are fully coated. For an extra crispy result, repeat the egg and breadcrumb steps.

Heat the Oil:
In a deep pan or fryer, heat about 2 inches of oil to 350°F (175°C). Properly heated oil ensures a crispy exterior without soaking up excess oil.

Fry the Cheese Cubes:
Fry the coated cheese cubes in small batches, ensuring they have enough room to cook evenly. Fry for about 2-3 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove them and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.

Serve:
Serve your Golden Fried Cheese Cubes hot with your favorite dipping sauces like marinara, ranch, or honey mustard. They’re best enjoyed fresh when the cheese is still melty inside!

Pro Tips for Perfect Cheese Cubes:

• Double-coating the cubes with egg and breadcrumbs ensures an extra crunchy exterior.
• Make sure the oil is at the right temperature to prevent greasy cheese cubes. Use a kitchen thermometer if possible.
• Try using pepper jack cheese for a spicy twist or a blend of cheeses for a richer flavor.
