History is silent about who first decided to fry the cheese. But he was truly a genius! Of course, cheese is not fried in a pan, this method would be more correctly called “deep-fried” or “breaded”. The recipe for fried cheese can be summarized in a few words: take a hard cheese of the lowest possible fat content, dip in milk, bread in flour and fry in a very preheated dry frying pan. You can experiment endlessly with breading and cheese varieties.
Fried cheese is a favorite dish of famous writer Charles Dickens. His wife, Catherine Dickens, often served this snack for him with his morning coffee, or for dinner, along with mashed potatoes. And it’s not surprising that he mentioned this dish in his first novel, The Pickwick Papers.
However, after living for many years in marriage and having produced 10 children, the couple decided to leave. One of their joint creative fruits was the book “What do we have for lunch?” The foreword was written by Charles Dickens, and the text by his wife Mrs. Catherine Dickens.
Unfortunately, after 16 years of marriage, family happiness ended. The work of the writer’s wife was reprinted several times, but after the divorce, Catherine vengefully removed from new editions one of Charles’ favorite dishes – fried cheese. Here’s a culinary revenge.
What recipe was used to prepare fried cheese in Dickens’s house, we no longer know. We can only fantasize. There are many ways to make grilled cheese, but the main options are in front of you
