Fried Cheese (Hot Appetizer)
Description
This is a very simple dish to prepare, but no less delicious than any other hot appetizer, and it will especially appeal to lovers of hard cheese. The dish turns out very filling, since the cheese is fried in batter. Inside, the cheese remains quite soft and slightly melted, while on the outside it becomes quite firm and crispy. This dish can be served as a side or as a standalone appetizer with sour cream and herbs. Be sure to serve the cheese hot so it doesn't have time to set. Serve the appetizer to the table.
