Irresistible gourmet vegetarian starter: Crunchy deep-fried cheese.

Ingredients:

300g Taleggio* cheese, sliced into 8 wedges
4 vine-ripened tomatoes, finely sliced
1 small onion, finely sliced
20.00 ml baby basil leaves, or larger basil leaves, torn
60ml olive oil
40.00 ml balsamic vinegar
20.00 ml flour
2 eggs, beaten
375.00 ml dried breadcrumbs
Light olive oil, to fry

Instructions:

Chill the Taleggio slices in the freezer for 15 minutes to enhance their texture.
On 4 serving plates, evenly distribute the tomato slices, layer with onion, and sprinkle with fresh basil leaves. In a small bowl, whisk together the 1/4 cup of oil, vinegar, salt, and pepper. Keep the dressing aside.
Take the cheese out of the freezer and coat it in flour, egg, and breadcrumbs. Chill in the fridge. Meanwhile, heat oil in a deep saucepan until it reaches 180°C (or until a bread cube turns golden in 10 seconds). Deep-fry the cheese for 2-3 minutes until golden brown, flipping as needed.
Drizzle the salad with dressing and top with two cheese wedges. Serve promptly.
