Czech Smažený Sýr – Fried Cheese with Tartar Sauce

1. 1

   Cut the Edam cheese into thick slices, about 1cm each, to ensure they hold together while frying.

2. 2

   Set up a breading station with flour, beaten egg, and breadcrumbs mixed with salt and pepper.

3. 3

   Dredge each cheese slice in flour, dip it in egg, then coat with breadcrumbs thoroughly.

4. 4

   Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat until hot, about 180°C (350°F).

5. 5

   Fry the breaded cheese slices for 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy.

6. 6

   While the cheese is frying, mix mayonnaise, lemon juice, pickles, and dill in a bowl to prepare the tartar sauce.

7. 7

   Remove the fried cheese from the pan and drain on paper towels before serving with tartar sauce.
