Ingredients

• 250 grams Edam cheese
• 100 grams All-purpose flour
• 25 grams Cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 2 large Eggs
• 125 milliliters Milk
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Nutmeg
• 150 grams Breadcrumbs
• 500 milliliters Vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

Grate the Edam cheese and set it aside.

Step 2

In a bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, pepper, and nutmeg.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and mix them with the milk.

Step 4

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, whisking until a smooth batter forms. The batter should be thick enough to coat the cheese. If it’s too runny, add a tablespoon of flour at a time until the desired consistency is reached.

Step 5

Gently fold the grated Edam cheese into the batter until evenly combined.

Step 6

Set up a breading station with the breadcrumbs in a shallow dish.

Step 7

Using a spoon, scoop out portions of the cheese mixture (about 1-2 tablespoons each) and shape them into small balls or patties.

Step 8

Roll each fritter in the breadcrumbs, pressing gently to ensure they are well-coated.

Step 9

Heat the vegetable oil in a deep skillet or saucepan to 180°C (350°F). Test the temperature by dropping a small piece of batter into the oil—it should sizzle and rise to the surface immediately.

Step 10

Carefully drop a few fritters into the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy.

Step 11

Use a slotted spoon to remove the fritters from the oil and drain them on a paper towel-lined plate.

Step 12

Serve the Edam cheese fritters warm with your favorite dipping sauce, such as marinara, garlic aioli, or sweet chili sauce.
