Fried caciotta

Ingredients:

  • 1 mature Veneto Caciotta
  • 3 eggs
  • Breadcrumbs
  • Type 0 flour
  • Salt and black pepper
  • Sunflower seed oil for frying 

Preparation:

Start by cutting the cheese into slices about one centimetre thick. Then prepare three dishes or bowls, putting flour in the first, breadcrumbs in the second and the egg beaten with a little salt and pepper in the third. Take the slices of cheese and dip them first in the egg, then the flour, the egg again and finally in the breadcrumbs. Coat all the slices in the same way, making sure the breadcrumbs stick well. Pour plenty of the oil into a large frying pan and heat. As soon as it is hot enough, put in the cheese slices. Turn to cook on both sides. They will only take a few minutes to turn a golden colour and mustn’t be cooked for too long or the cheese will ooze out and the oil will spit. Drain off the oil and put onto absorbent kitchen paper. Serve nice and hot while the cheesy middle is still melted and gooey.
