Ingredients
- 400 g fresh pecorino (see Note)
- 2 eggs
- 3 tbsp plain flour
- 60 ml (¼ cup) olive oil
Instructions
Slice cheese into 1 cm thick slices. Whisk eggs in a bowl. Whisk in 2 tbsp flour to form a batter the consistency of a milkshake.
Heat oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Working in batches, dust cheese in remaining 1 tbsp flour, dip into the batter, draining excess, then cook for 1 minute each side or until golden. Serve immediately.
Note
• Fresh pecorino is from select supermarkets and greengrocers.
