Ingredients for Baked Breaded Cheese
- 4.4 oz fresh cheese (such as linea or primo sale in one piece)
- 2.5 tbsps all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 tsp dried onion
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp chives (dried)
- 1/2 tsp sweet paprika
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 egg
- 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
Preparation of Baked Breaded Cheese
Beat the egg in a bowl for a few seconds and set aside.
In two separate bowls, place the flour in one and the breadcrumbs with salt, chives, onion, sweet paprika, and garlic in the other, and mix to combine.
Open the cheese package and drain the liquid inside (I used a fresh and light lactose-free cheese), coat it in the flour on top, bottom, and sides.
Then pass the cheese in the beaten egg and then in the flavored breadcrumbs (making sure to cover the entire surface, including the edges), repeat this process 2 more times to have a triple breading, place the breaded cheese in a non-stick pan or one lined with parchment paper.
Preheat the oven to 428°F and when it is very hot, drizzle some oil on top of the cheese and bake, cook for 15 minutes, turning halfway through! If you love a melty center, serve hot; otherwise, it’s also excellent warm with a firmer center! Enjoy your meal!
If you love chili, you can add some dried chili on top just after taking the baked breaded cheese out of the oven!
