Crispy Fried Cheese Bites with Raspberry Jam

How to Make Our Crispy Fried Cheese Bites

Ingredients:

• 1 Block of The Big Moo - Oh-So Original, Harvest Cranberry, or Bakin' Bacon
• Raspberry Jam
• Vegetable or Canola Oil (for frying)

Make it your own! Get creative with your dips and explore options like different jams or even maple syrup! Some of our Wisconsin favorites are Strawberry Rhubarb Preserves from Wisconsin's Best and Wild Huckleberry Preserves from Brennan's Market.

Cooking Instructions:

Prep the Cheese:

1. Cut the block of The Big Moo - Oh-So Original into 1 inch cubes
2. Heat vegetable or canola oil in a deep skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat for 5-10 minutes. Make sure there is enough oil to fully submerge the cheese bites. You'll know the oil is hot enough if your meat thermometer reads between 350 - 400 degrees.
3. Once the oil is hot, carefully add the cheese bites into the pan, making sure not to overcrowd them. Fry in batches if necessary. Fry the cheese bites until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside, about 30 seconds.
4. Using a slotted spoon or tongs, remove the fried cheese bites from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
5. Serve the cheese bites hot with your favorite raspberry jam for dipping.

Don't have a meat thermometer? Stick the end of a wooden spoon into the oil. If you see bubbles form around the wood and they start to float up, your oil is ready for frying. If it's bubbling hard, the oil is too hot; let it cool a bit and check the temperature again.
