Serves 16

Method:

1. Spray a small, heavy bottomed, nonstick skillet with nonstick cooking spray, and place over medium-high heat.

2. Add the oil, and then the cheese. The cheese will melt and bubble and spread to fill the bottom of the skillet.

3. Let the cheese fry until it's crisp and brown around the edges. Use a spatula to lift up an edge, and check whether the cheese is brown all over the bottom; if it isn't, let it go another minute or so.

4. When the fried cheese is good and brown, carefully flip it and fry the other side until it, too, is brown. Remove the cheese from the skillet, drain, and lie it flat to cool. Break into pieces and eat.
