Great little Mediterranean recipe that can be served as an appetizer or dessert. Also, a great option for brunch, or as a snack. Quince is known as the fruit of love and originates from the Island of Crete. If quince preserves aren't available, try any preserve or marmalade. Ingredients:
1 lb manouri cheese or 1 lb farmer cheese |
2/3 cup all-purpose flour |
2 eggs, whisked |
quince preserves |
oil, for frying |
Directions:
1. Cut cheese into 1/4 slices and then cut slices into quarters. Coat slices with flour, dip in egg, and fry in hot oil, turning until golden brown on both sides.
2. Allow to cool slightly, and serve with a dollop of quince preserve on each slice.
