Queso Frito

• 3 tablespoons flour
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1/2 pound mild soft sheeps milk cheese, like manchego or Tuscan pecorino, or other cheese, cut into 1/2-inch slices
• 2 eggs, beaten
• 1/2 cup fine bread crumbs, preferably homemade (page 580)
• Extra virgin olive oil for frying

1. Mix the flour and paprika together.
2. Dredge the cheese slices in the flour, then the beaten egg, and finally the bread crumbs.
3. If time allows, put on wax paper and refrigerate for an hour or longer.
4. Put at least 1/2 inch of oil in a heavy skillet and turn the heat to medium-high.
5. When the oil shimmers, fry the cheese slices until golden brown, about 30 seconds, then turn and brown the other side.
6. Drain on paper towels and serve as soon as possible.
