Method

Hot Platters

1

Prepare the Cheese Curds

Start by patting the cheese curds dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This will help them fry better.

2

Prepare the Breading Mixture

In a mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, cornstarch, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix well to combine.

3

Prepare the Egg Mixture

In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until fully combined.

4

Coat the Cheese Curds

Dip each cheese curd first into the flour mixture, then into the egg mixture, and finally back into the flour mixture to ensure a good coating.

5

Heat the Oil

In a large, deep frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

6

Fry the Cheese Curds

Once the oil is hot, carefully add the coated cheese curds in batches. Fry them for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

7

Serve the Platter

Arrange the fried cheese curds on a serving platter. Serve immediately with a side of ranch dressing and gritty sauce for dipping.
