These can be served on a salad of baby greens. Toss the greens with tarragon vinaigrette and sprinkle with toasted hazelnuts. Ingredients:
4 medium bartlett pears, peeled |
16 1 1/2 x 1 x 1/4-inch-thick slices sharp cheddar cheese |
1/2 cup all purpose flour |
2 large eggs, beaten to blend |
2 cups fresh white breadcrumbs |
vegetable oil (for frying) |
Directions:
1. Cut 3 thin vertical slices from opposite sides of each pear; discard cores. Alternating pear and cheese slices, place 2 cheese slices between 3 pear slices for each of 8 fritters. Holding each cheese-pear sandwich firmly together, coat lightly with flour, then eggs, then breadcrumbs, coating completely and pressing crumbs to adhere.
2. Pour oil into heavy large skillet to depth of 1 inch and heat to 350°F. Cook fritters in batches until golden, turning with slotted spoon, about 2 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
