Ingredients for Baked Breaded Cheese
- 4.4 oz fresh cheese (like line or primo sale in one piece)
- 2.5 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 0.5 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 fresh and lactose-free light cheese), coat it with flour on the top, bottom, and sides.
Then dip the cheese in the beaten egg and subsequently in the seasoned breadcrumbs (making sure to cover the entire surface, including the sides), repeat this operation 2 more times to have a triple breading, place the breaded cheese on a non-stick baking pan or one with parchment paper.
Preheat the oven to 428°F, and when it’s very hot, drizzle a little oil on top of the cheese and bake, cooking for 15 minutes, turning halfway through! If you love a melty heart, serve hot, otherwise, it’s also excellent warm with a firmer heart! Enjoy your meal!
If you love chili peppers, you can add some dried ones on top just after baking the breaded cheese!
