Fried cheese is a popular snack or appetizer made by cooking cheese until it becomes crispy on the outside while remaining soft and gooey on the inside. Common types of cheese used for frying include mozzarella, cheddar, and halloumi. The cheese is often coated in breadcrumbs or batter before being deep-fried or pan-fried. This dish is enjoyed in various cuisines around the world. In Italy, for example, fried cheese is often served as mozzarella in carrozza, while in Greece, saganaki features fried kefalotyri cheese. Fried cheese can be served with dipping sauces or enjoyed on its own.
