Real Wisconsin Fried Cheese Curds

These scrumptious cheese curds are surprisingly easy to make. With just a few ingredients, you’ll have a delightful appetizer that’s sure to impress your friends and family.

Wisconsin Fried Cheese Curds

Ingredients

  • 1 pound of fresh cheese curds (preferably white cheddar)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup cornmeal
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Oil for frying (vegetable or canola works great)

Instructions

  1. Begin by heating oil in a deep fryer or a large heavy pot to 350°F (175°C). Make sure there’s enough oil to submerge the cheese curds completely.
  2. While the oil is heating, set up a breading station. In one bowl, whisk the eggs and buttermilk together. In another bowl, mix the flour with salt and pepper. In a third bowl, combine the cornmeal with additional seasoning if you desire.
  3. Take the cheese curds, dip them in the flour mixture first, then into the egg mixture, and finally coat them well with cornmeal. Make sure each curd is evenly covered.
  4. Once the oil is hot, carefully drop a few cheese curds into the oil at a time, making sure not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for about 2-3 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
  5. Using a slotted spoon, remove the fried cheese curds from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
  6. Repeat with the remaining cheese curds, ensuring the oil temperature stays consistent.
  7. Serve your fried cheese curds hot, with your favorite dipping sauce, such as marinara or ranch dressing. Enjoy!
