Instructions

Heat a thick layer of fraying fat in a pan.
Beat 2 eggs lightly with a fork, and add ⅛ salt.
Prepare 4 slices semi-hard cheese ⅓-1/2-inch thick. Firstly, coat the slice in the flour, then in the beaten eggs, and lastly in the breadcrumbs. After dredging the cheese in flour and breadcrumbs, always shake off the excess coating. Repeat with all cheese.
Turn the pan temperature to medium and fry the coated cheese on both sides, each for about 3-4 minutes, until it turns golden brown.
Serve the cheese immediately with a potato side dish and the tartar sauce as the condiment.

Notes

The basic recipe makes 4 servings.
SERVING: Serve with boiled potatoes or mashed potatoes. Sometimes the fried cheese is served with French fries, but I think it is "too much" fried food on one plate. Add a small cup of tartar sauce (Czech Tatarská omáčka) to the plate.
If you are based in the US, the best cheese for frying is Monterey Jack, Mozzarella, Swiss Gruyère
The combination of hot cheese in a crispy crust and tartar sauce stands out the best when served as soon as possible after frying. The longer you let the cheese cool down, the chewier it becomes (no worries, it will still taste great).
