Fried Cheese
Also known as: Smažený sýr
Czech Edam slices double-coated in flour, egg and breadcrumbs, then fried until crisp outside and molten within.
About Fried Cheese
Fried cheese appears in many cuisines; this profile names the Czech classic smažený sýr. It follows VisitCzechia's Edam version, double-coated to keep the melting cheese inside.
The flavour is milky, salty and gently tangy, with a rich molten cheese centre and a savoury toasted breadcrumb crust.
It arrives as a thick golden slab with a crisp, craggy shell; cutting it reveals soft, stretchy Edam. Potatoes and tartar sauce are traditional accompaniments but are not part of this profile.
