Method

1
Slice the kashkaval cheese into uniform pieces approximately 1 cm (½ inch) thick, ensuring the slices are even for consistent cooking.
3 minutes
2
Beat the eggs thoroughly in a shallow bowl until the yolks and whites are fully combined and slightly frothy.
2 minutes
3
Spread the bread crumbs evenly across a separate shallow plate or tray, ready for coating.
1 minutes
4
Dip each slice of kashkaval into the beaten egg, ensuring full coverage on all sides, then press it firmly into the bread crumbs to form an even coating. For a thicker crust, repeat this process a second time.
5 minutes
5
Place the coated cheese slices on a plate and refrigerate them for at least 15 minutes to help the coating adhere firmly and prevent the cheese from leaking during frying.
15 minutes
6
Pour sufficient oil into a deep pan or skillet to submerge the cheese slices and heat it over medium-high heat until it reaches approximately 180°C (350°F).
5 minutes
7
Carefully lower the coated cheese slices into the hot oil in small batches and fry for 1 to 2 minutes per side until the exterior is deep golden brown and crisp.
4 minutes
8
Remove the fried kashkaval with a slotted spoon and transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve immediately while hot and crisp.
