2 tablespoons olive oil |
2 teaspoons sherry vinegar |
4 teaspoons minced shallots |
2 teaspoons minced parsley |
1/2 teaspoons small whole or chopped large capers |
1/2 pound fairly mild melting cheese, such as spanish tetilla, mahon, or goat cheese 1/2-inch thick |
flour, for dusting |
2 eggs, lightly beaten with 2 teaspoons water |
breadcrumbs |

Directions:
1. In a cup combine the dressing ingredients. Dust the cheese pieces with flour, dip in the egg, then in the crumbs. (May be prepared ahead.) In a skillet heat the oil at least 1/2-inch deep to about 380 degrees F and fry the cheese quickly until golden on both sides. Or, better use a deep-fryer. Drain. Sprinkle the dressing over the cheese and serve immediately. |
