Ingredients

• 200 grams Cheese (Mozzarella or a firm cheese of choice)
• 100 grams Gluten-free breadcrumbs
• 50 grams Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Paprika
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 500 milliliters Vegetable oil (for frying)

Directions

Step 1

Cut the cheese into sticks or cubes, approximately 1 inch in size, ensuring uniform thickness to allow even cooking.

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk the eggs until well beaten. Set aside.

Step 3

In a separate shallow dish, combine the gluten-free breadcrumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.

Step 4

Place the gluten-free all-purpose flour in another shallow bowl.

Step 5

Set up a breading station with the flour, eggs, and spiced breadcrumbs in line.

Step 6

Dredge each cheese piece in the flour, tapping off any excess.

Step 7

Dip the floured cheese into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess egg to drip back into the bowl.

Step 8

Finally, coat the egg-dipped cheese in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere the breadcrumbs. Repeat for all cheese pieces.

Step 9

Heat vegetable oil in a deep frying pan over medium-high heat, ensuring the oil is about 1 inch deep.

Step 10

Once the oil is hot (around 350°F or 175°C), carefully add the breaded cheese pieces in batches to avoid overcrowding.

Step 11

Fry each piece for about 1-2 minutes per side or until golden brown and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

Step 12

Serve immediately while hot and enjoy the crispy, gooey goodness.
