Cheese Fritter Recipes??!
Answers: Hey!! I am looking for a cheese fritter recipe i would really really like the one from Amerigo restuarant. If you know it or know anything similar please share!! I am dying to try my hand at fixing them. Thanks for the help!!
1/2 cup milk
1 oz. blue cheese, crumbled
1 1/4 all purpose flour
1 Tbsp. baking powder
3/4 tsp. salt
dash cayenne
3 medium eggs
6 oz. grated cheddar cheese
vegetable oil
grated parmesan cheese (for topping)
In small saucepan heat the milk and bleu cheese over medium heat until the cheese melts.
Mix together the flour, baking powder, salt and cayenne in a mixing bowl. Add the milk and bleu cheese and mix thoroughly. Add eggs one at a time and mix until blended. Add cheddar cheese and blend for a couple of minutes.
Drop the mixture into fritter shapes into hot oil until light brown.
Sprinkle with parmesan cheese. Serve with the prepared sauce for dipping.
I made this recipe recently, and they were absolutely as yummy I remembered them. :) My hubby, who never experienced the Magic Pan was delighted -- although he wants me to add a little more cayenne to the dough next time (I agree -- a little more kick could make 'em even better!). :)
NOTES:
Don't make the fritters too large, or they'll get a little gummy in the middle -- keep them small (bite-sized) and they'll cook thoroughly.
I used my little fryer, but you could probably use a small on-the-stove, heavy-duty pan -- just make sure your frying temperature is about 375 degrees F.
If you're going to make the entire batch before serving, after draining each batch on a rack (not paper towels -- they make things get soggy!), put them on pie tins in a low/warming oven as you cook subsequent batches.
I like to serve them with a MUSTARD DIPPING SAUCE:
1 cup salad dressing (or mayonnaise)
1/4 cup prepared mustard
1/4 cup sugar
dash lemon juice
Mix all ingredients for Dipping Sauce together; set aside.
For the Dipping Sauce, I used Hellmann's/Best Food mayo in the sauce, rather than Miracle Whip (which I think is icky), and it was definitely the right choice. Also... lightly warm the dipping sauce by heating over a double boiler or about 15 seconds at a time in the microwave at 30-50%. Don't let the mustard crust up.
Cheese Fritters
These fritters are made with cheese then fried in oil. Serve them hot with jam on the side.
INGREDIENTS
1 cup drained cottage cheese
1 egg
1/4 cup half-and-half
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 3/4 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons white sugar
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
2 cups vegetable oil
3 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
DIRECTIONS
In a medium bowl, beat the cottage cheese and egg together. Stir in the half-and-half, flour, baking powder, salt, sugar and nutmeg. Mix until just combined.
Fill a deep pot to the 2 inch mark with oil. Heat to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Drop batter by rounded tablespoons into the hot oil. Fry until golden brown on all sides about 3 to 4 minutes. Drain on paper towels and sprinkle with confectioners' sugar. Serve hot
