Fried Cheese Curds

A quick and tasty game day appetizer using Zatarain's Wonderful Fish-Fri and fresh cheese curds.

Ingredients

  • 12 ounces high quality mozzarella or cheddar cheese curds
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup Zatarain's Wonderful Fish-Fri
  • vegetable oil for frying

Instructions

  • Pour 2-inches of oil in a deep skillet. Carefully heat to medium-high.
  • In a small bowl, combine milk and egg until well blended.
  • Place cheese curds in the milk and egg mixture.
  • Pour Zatarains Wonderful Fish-Fri into a small bowl.
  • Remove cheese curds from milk and egg mixture, 1 handful at a time, and place in fish-fry. Coat each cheese curd with fish-fry.
  • Using a slotted, long handled spoon, place cheese curds in pre-heated oil. Allow to fry for 10 seconds or less, until a light golden brown. Using the same slotted spoon, remove curds from oil and place on a paper towel for excess oil to drain off.
