1/2
to 3/4 cup shredded Cheddar, Monterey Jack, or
jalapeño Jack cheese
Serves 16
Method:
Spray a small, heavy bottomed, nonstick skillet with
nonstick cooking spray, and place over medium-high
heat.
Add the oil, and then the cheese. The cheese
will melt and bubble and spread to fill the bottom
of the skillet.
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.
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.
