If you keep some fresh Mexican cheese on hand you can enjoy Fried Cheese anytime you like. It is surprisingly simple and all you need is the cheese and a hot pan, no breading required. You can serve it topped with your favorite salsa or fruit preserves, or make a "garlic bread" version by sprinkling on a pinch of garlic powder after they are done cooking. They make a great quick after school snack for hungry kids to tide them over until dinner. They are best eaten fresh from the pan as they lose their crunch as they cool.
