• Edam cheese400 g

• fine breadcrumbs120 g

Method

1. Cut the Edam into 4 thick slices about 1.5 cm thick and pat them dry.
2. Set up three bowls: flour, eggs beaten with milk and a pinch of salt, and breadcrumbs.
3. Coat each slice in flour, then egg, then breadcrumbs, pressing the crumbs on firmly. Repeat the egg and breadcrumb layers for a thicker crust.
4. Heat the oil in a deep pan to about 175 °C.
5. Fry the slices in batches for 1–2 minutes per side until deep golden and the cheese is just soft inside.
6. Drain briefly on paper and serve at once, traditionally with tartar sauce and fried potatoes or bread.
