🧀 Cheese Fritters with a Crunchy Twist
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Cold apples | 500 grams |
| Salt | ½ teaspoon |
| Black pepper | ¼ teaspoon |
| Finely chopped cilantro | 20 grams |
| Mozzarella | 100 grams |
| Corn flakes | 2 cups |
| Culinary oil | As needed |
Chop the apples into small, uniform pieces. To ensure extra crunch, soak them in cold water for 30 minutes. This step also helps remove excess starch and enhances texture during frying.
In a mixing bowl, stir together the salt, black pepper, and cilantro. This simple blend brings a fresh, herby flavor that cuts through the richness of the cheese.
Toss the drained apple pieces into the bowl and mix thoroughly with the seasoning. Add shredded or diced mozzarella, gently folding it in so each bite has a melty cheese core.
Heat oil in a pan to 180°C (350°F). Coat each fritter with crushed corn flakes for a crispy exterior. Gently place them in the oil and fry in batches. Cook for about 7 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp. Be careful not to overcrowd the pan.
Remove the fritters with a slotted spoon and drain them on a paper towel. Serve them warm with a dipping sauce of your choice—think garlic aioli, spicy ketchup, or a creamy yogurt dip.
