Smažený sýr (Czech fried cheese) and fried cauliflower
Ingredients
- Wedge
of Fontina or Havarti cheese
- 1 head
of cauliflower
- 2 eggs
- 2
tablespoons milk
- All
purpose flour
- Regular
or Italian style bread crumbs
- Vegetable
oil, for deep frying
Directions
- Use a
knife to slice the cheese roughly about 1/2 inch X 3 inch X 4 inch pieces.
- Wash
the cauliflower and divide into small flowerettes. Set in a colander to
dry.
- Bread
the cheese by covering thoroughly with flour, then dipping into a bowl of
egg and milk, and lastly into the bread crumbs. Make sure all the cheese
is covered by the bread crumbs, or cheese will have a place to escape out
of when deep frying. Dip again in the egg/milk mixture, and again in the
bread crumbs.
- Repeat
this procedure with all the pieces of cheese. Bread the cauliflower,
dipping into each bowl only once (only the cheese needs to be
double-breaded).
- Fry
the cauliflower first in a shallow pan of oil, about 1.5″ deep. When
breading becomes golden brown, remove and set on paper towels.
- Fry
the cheese just before serving.
- Serve
with cold beer, mashed potatoes or french fries, braised cabbage, and a
sauce consisting of: half light mayo / half light sour
cream, chopped onions and pickles, and black pepper. I also like to serve
it with the Swedish lingonberry sauce (available at IKEA or Cost Plus
World Market) or cranberry sauce on the side.
