  5. 5

    Carefully add the floured cheese cubes to the hot oil, working in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan. Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy.

    ~7 min
  6. 6

    Remove the fried cheese bites from the pan and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.

Tips

  • Ensure the oil is hot before adding the cheese to achieve a crispy exterior. If the oil is not hot enough, the cheese will absorb too much oil and become greasy.
  • Serve immediately after drizzling with honey for the best texture and flavor experience.
