• 200 g Edam cheese
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup breadcrumbs
• Salt to taste salt
• 400 ml vegetable oil
• Lemon wedges as needed lemon

Method

1. 1

   Slice the Edam cheese into thick slices, about 1.5 cm each.

2. 2

   Set up three shallow bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs mixed with a pinch of salt.

3. 3

   Dredge each cheese slice in flour, then dip it into the beaten eggs, and finally coat it with breadcrumbs, pressing slightly to adhere.

4. 4

   In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium heat until hot.

5. 5

   Carefully place the breaded cheese slices into the hot oil, frying until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.

6. 6

   Remove the fried cheese from the skillet and let it drain on paper towels to absorb excess oil.

7. 7

   Serve hot with lemon wedges on the side.
