Fried Cheese with Shallot Dressing (Queso Frito AlinAdo con Salsa de Escalona)
Recipe courtesy Pilar Sanchez
Show:  Melting Pot
Episode:  Mediterranean Afternoon Meals
Dressing:
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

Cheese:
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
Oil, for frying

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.
