Queso manchego frito
- 1 block manchego cheese
Cut the manchego block into slices 1 cm thick.
- 60 g all-purpose flour
- 2 whole eggs
- sea salt
- freshly cracked black pepper
- 110 g panko bread crumbs
- 1 g dried rosemary
Put the flour in one bowl; crack the eggs into a second, season with sea salt and black pepper and whisk; mix the panko with the dried rosemary and a kiss of sea salt in a third.
Coat each slice fully in flour, then the egg wash, then the breadcrumbs.
Fry in hot oil in a single, evenly spaced layer, in batches, 1 to 2 minutes per side until golden and crispy; drain on paper towels.
Strain the oil through a fine sieve into a cup to reuse.
