I have NEVER heard of this cheese before!
When I saw it in the store I thought, “A special kind of cheese, made just for frying?”
I am going to be the “Best Wife on the Block” if I come home with this.
(Hubby always burns his fingers trying to scrape every last piece of fried cheese from the pan)
So I forked over a Crazy amount of money….
More expensive pound for pound then a Rib-Eye kind of money
And here is what I did with it….
Looks like French Toast right? Funny thing is, it tastes like it too!
Not quite what I was expecting flavor-wise.
I’ve got have a block of this stuff left….any ideas on what to do with the rest?
I found this site and there is a link to a pdf with recipes from Trader
Joe for this frying cheese. Sounds kinda weird, but I thought I would
send it to you anyway.
Here is a website that should help.

is their frying cheese the same thing as “haloumi”? if so, just search places like allrecipes for those recipes as there are heaps.
Costco carries a cheese in their specialty section {I think it Queso
blanco, but don’t go there and complain to me if that isn’t right ~ grins}.
We slice it up thin like that, fry it and then eat it just plain along with
lunch or whatever. Especially nice with tomato soup – yum!!! The kids
love that it’s ‘squeaky’ when we eat it and it reminds us of the cheese
curd we get when we go to visit my hubby’s family. Of course the
cheese curd isn’t fried…or warm…but it IS squeaky! :)
How’s that for no help at all?
Wow..that is very different! Not sure I have any suggestions for you…
Cheese that tastes like french toast…hmmm.
