Ingredients

6 ounces of plain yogurt

1 teaspoon Sriracha, or more to taste

1 cup flour

4 eggs

1 tablespoon milk

2 cups plain breadcrumbs

2 tablespoons Italian seasoning

2 teaspoons garlic powder

16 Ounces cheese curds

Vegetable oil for frying

Preparation

01Stir together one container of plain yogurt and the sriracha. Cover and keep in the fridge until ready to serve.

02Place flour in a bowl. In a second bowl, combine eggs and milk and beat well to break up any egg whites. In a third bowl combine bread crumbs, Italian seasoning and garlic powder.

03Coat the curds with the flour, then the egg mixture, and lastly the bread crumbs. Place the coated curds on a wire rack resting in a rimmed baking sheet. Freeze for 30 to 60 minutes.

04Set up another wire rack in a baking sheet or plate lined with paper towels. Pour enough oil into a large skillet or deep pot to reach about 2 inches of oil. Heat the oil over medium-high heat. Use a thermometer to make sure the temperature is 350ºF to 375ºF.

05Frying in batches, gently add frozen curds to the oil. Do not crowd the skillet. Fry for about 1 minute, or until golden brown. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on the rack or paper towels. Enjoy immediately.
