Ingredients
- 4 cheese Edam, Gouda or Hermelín, ½-inch/1cm thick slices
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 egg beaten
- 1 cup bread crumbs
- 2 cups vegetable oil
For the tartar sauce (tatarská omáčka)
- 4 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon vinegar
- 1 teaspoon mustard
- 4 gherkin finely chopped, pickles
- 1 tablespoon capers
- ½ onion , grated
- salt
- black pepper freshly ground
Instructions
- Place the flour in a shallow bowl, the eggs in another and the breadcrumbs in a third.
- Dredge a slice of cheese in the flour.
- Then dip it in the beaten eggs, submerging it to wet it all over.
- Finally cover with bread crumbs, making sure the cheese slice is completely coated.
- Repeat the same operation with the egg and bread crumbs. The double coating ensures the cheese does not leak when frying.
- Set aside on a plate and repeat with the other slices of cheese.
- Chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
Czech tartar sauce (tatarská omáčka)
- Meanwhile, prepare the tartare sauce by mixing together the mayonnaise, vinegar, mustard, gherkins, capers and onion in a small bowl. Season to taste with salt and pepper and set aside.
- Heat the oil in a deep fryer or in a pan at medium/high heat until it reaches 350F/180C.
- Deep fry the cheese slices for about 20 seconds.
- Serve immediately with boiled potatoes or French fries, as well as tartar sauce.
Notes
- Deep frying will be a quicker frying method and will avoid any leak of cheese. You can also pan fry the cheese slices on each side in hot oil until golden brown.
