How to Make
- 1.
Prepare the coating for cheesy bites.
Whisk eggs and milk in one bowl, keep flour in another, and breadcrumbs in a third. This sets up the perfect coating station for your cheesy bites.
- 2.
Coat each cheese bite.
Dip a piece of cheese first in flour, then in the egg mixture, and finally roll it in breadcrumbs. This gives every cheese bite an even, crunchy layer.
- 3.
Repeat the process for cheesy bites.
Continue coating all the remaining pieces. For extra crunch, double-dip in egg and breadcrumbs so your cheesy bites come out crispier.
- 4.
Freeze before frying cheese bites.
Place the coated pieces on a tray and freeze until the crust sets. This step keeps your cheese bites from breaking or leaking while frying.
- 5.
Fry the cheesy bites.
Heat oil in a heavy-bottomed kadhai. Slide in the frozen cheesy bites, fry in batches, and cook until golden brown and crispy.
- 6.
Drain and serve cheese bites hot.
Remove fried cheese bites, place them on parchment or paper towels to absorb excess oil, and serve warm with marinara or your favourite dip.
