Crispy Heaven” – 3-Ingredient Fried Cheese Sticks

Ingredients (ONLY 3)

1 block halloumi cheese (or any firm frying cheese), sliced into sticks

1 large egg

Oil for frying (olive oil or vegetable oil)

👉 That’s it. No flour, no breadcrumbs.

👩‍🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions

1️⃣ Prepare the Cheese

• Cut the halloumi into finger-length sticks (about 1–1.5 cm thick)

• Pat dry with paper towels (important for crispiness)

2️⃣ Egg Coating

• Beat the egg in a shallow bowl

• Dip each cheese stick into the egg, coating all sides well

3️⃣ Fry

• Heat oil in a pan over medium heat

• Add cheese sticks carefully (don’t overcrowd)

• Fry 2–3 minutes per side, until:

• Deep golden brown

• Crispy outside

• Soft and creamy inside

4️⃣ Drain & Serve

• Remove and place on paper towels

• Serve immediately while hot

🔥 Pro Tips (Why This Works)

✔ Halloumi doesn’t melt completely

✔ Egg creates a crispy, golden crust

✔ Medium heat prevents burning

✔ Best eaten fresh — they firm up as they cool

🍽 Optional (Still 3-Ingredient Base)

If you want flavor without breaking the rule, serve with:

• Lemon wedges

• Chili flakes on top

• Honey drizzle (sweet-salty combo 😍)
