1/2 cup fine dry breadcrumbs
1/2 cup grated Vella Dry Monterey Jack Cheese
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 beaten egg
2 tablespoons milk
3/4 cup all purpose flour
Vella Dry Monterey Jack Cheese
Vegetable or olive oil
Tomato salsa

Combine the breadcrumbs, grated Dry Jack, oregano, garlic, and optional salt to taste in a small bowl.

Wisk together egg and milk in a separate bowl.

Place flour in a third bowl.

Cut into half inch thick slices. Dip each cheese slice into the flour, then into the egg mixture, and finally into the seasoned bread crumbs to coat generously.

Place coated cheese slices in a single layer on a tray to stand, uncovered for 10-15 minutes to dry. If the cheese is not completely covered with crumbs, repeat the process.

Meanwhile, pour oil to a depth of 2 inches into a heavy bottomed saucepan. Place over medium heat and heat until oil is hot but not smoking.

Carefully slide crumb-coated cheese into the hot oil and fry, turning once, until golden, about 2 minutes in all. Do not crowd the cheese slices in the pan or they will not cook properly.

Drain briefly on paper towels and serve with your favorite salsa.
