Ingredients

• 8 oz Gouda cheese block
• 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 Large eggs
• 2 tbsp Milk
• 1 cup Breadcrumbs
• 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 tsp Garlic powder
• 1 tsp Paprika
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 0.25 tsp Ground black pepper
• 2 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)

Directions

Step 1

Cut the gouda cheese block into 8 equal-sized wedges.

Step 2

Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls: one with flour, one with eggs whisked together with milk, and one with breadcrumbs mixed with grated Parmesan, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

Coat each cheese wedge in flour, shaking off any excess.

Step 4

Dip the floured wedge into the egg mixture, ensuring it is fully coated.

Step 5

Dredge the egg-coated wedge in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere the coating.

Step 6

Place the prepared wedges on a plate or tray. Chill in the refrigerator for 10 minutes to help the coating stick.

Step 7

In a deep frying pan or heavy-bottomed pot, heat vegetable oil over medium heat to 350°F (175°C).

Step 8

Carefully fry the chilled gouda wedges in batches, 2-3 at a time, for 1-2 minutes per side or until golden brown and crispy.

Step 9

Using a slotted spoon, transfer the fried wedges to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.

Step 10

Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce, such as marinara or honey mustard.
