🧀 Crispy Bliss Recipe (Just 3 Ingredients!)

Ingredients
1 block of firm cheese, such as halloumi or paneer
2 tablespoons flour, either all-purpose or cornstarch
2 tablespoons oil, for frying

Optional but encouraged: dried herbs or freshly cracked black pepper for finishing

Instructions

Cut the cheese
Slice the cheese into thick squares or rectangles, roughly one inch thick. Thicker cuts keep the inside soft while allowing the outside to crisp up perfectly.

Lightly coat
Gently dust each piece with flour, tapping off any excess. This thin coating is what creates that crave-worthy crust.

Heat the pan
Warm the oil in a nonstick or heavy-bottomed skillet over medium heat. It should be hot, but not smoking.

Fry until golden
Place the cheese pieces into the pan with space between them. Cook for two to three minutes per side, until each surface turns deeply golden and crisp.

Serve right away
Remove from the pan, add herbs or pepper if you like, and serve immediately while the centers are still rich and creamy.
