Fried Cheese

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.
