Ingredients
¼ cup plain flour
(40g)
1 dash dried oregano
1 dash dried parsley
1 dash dried basil
1 free range egg
beaten
3 whole rounds mini Babybel
halved
½ cup breadcrumbs
⅓ cup canola oil
(80ml), for pan frying
Equipment
- 1 small bowls
- 1 fork
- 1 small plate
- 1 frypan
- 1 slotted spoon
- 1 paper towels
Instructions
- Combine the flour and dried herbs in one small bowl and season with salt and pepper.
- Set up a breading station with three bowls: one for the seasoned flour, one for the beaten egg, and one for the breadcrumbs.
- Put a Babybel cheese wedge into the flour and shake off any excess.
- Next dip the flour coated wedge into the beaten egg; remove with fork, allowing any excess egg to drip off.
- Roll in the seasoned breadcrumbs, shaking off any excess and place on a small plate.
- Repeat with remaining cheese halves.
- Once all the cheese halves are coated and on the plate, place into the freezer for a minimum of 20 minutes.
- Put the oil into the frypan and heat on medium heat. (The pan is hot enough when you throw in a few stray breadcrumbs and they immediately bubble gently on contact with the oil.)
- Take the cheese wedges from the freezer and carefully place them in the heated oil.
- Pan-fry gently until golden brown (about 30 seconds on each side).
- Gently remove from the pan with a slotted spoon and transfer onto a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- Serve immediately.
