Macedonian Kashkaval Patties
Crispy, golden-brown patties made from grated kashkaval cheese, mixed with egg and flour, then fried to a delightful crunch. A popular appetizer or snack.
🧂 Ingrédients
- 300 g Kashkaval cheese(grated)
- 2 large Eggs
- 4 tbsp All-purpose flour(plus more for dusting)
- 0.5 tsp Salt(adjust to taste as kashkaval can be salty)
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- for frying as needed Vegetable oil
👨🍳 Instructions
- 1
In a medium bowl, combine the grated kashkaval cheese, eggs, 4 tablespoons of flour, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until a cohesive mixture forms. If the mixture is too wet, add a little more flour, one tablespoon at a time.
- 2
Lightly dust your hands with flour and shape the cheese mixture into small, flattened patties, about 2-3 inches in diameter.
- 3
Heat about 1/2 inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. The oil is ready when a small drop of the mixture sizzles immediately.
- 4
Carefully place the patties into the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 3-5 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy.
- 5
Remove the patties from the skillet using a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
- 6
Serve immediately as a hot appetizer or snack.
