Looking around my kitchen at work, trying to decide what to fry, i come about our cheese stack in the walk-in fridge. a delicious chunk of blue cheese. Now I've had mozza sticks and cheddar sticks before, but none of the crumblier cheeses seem to get deep fried as much. As a blue cheese lover, i figured why not? after a few comments from my coworker chuck of "that's gonna make a huge mess", i collected all the deep frying ingredients. we had just finished making deep fried haddock for fish

i took the chunk, dipped it into the flour, then the batter. the batter didn't seem to want to hold on very well to the blue cheese, so i decided to add an extra step and dip it into some panko breadcrumbs mixed with Cajun spice to make sure i had a good coating around the blue cheese as i didn't want it melting and creating a huge mess in the fryer.




it was a little sloppy and a little rushed, but it seemed to hold up. i put it in the fryer and fried it for approx 45

it came out a nice solid crunchy square. i ate it, as i promise to eat everything i fry, and was quite surprised, it was pretty good. crunchy on the outside, soft gooey bluecheesyness on the inside, and for a brief second it's what i imagined french people eating in sports bars. all in all, as a first attempt to deep fry a crumbly cheese, it wasn't great but it wasn't terrible. i give it 5 fries out of ten.
