Follow The Directions

01

Step
3 mins

In a medium bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, gluten-free flour, baking powder, dried basil, salt, and garlic powder. Continue whisking until the batter is smooth and has the consistency of eggnog (about 2-3 minutes). Adjust milk if needed.

02

Step
6 mins

Pour grapeseed oil into a deep-fryer or a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan. Heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Use a thermometer to ensure accurate temperature control. (Approximately 5-7 minutes)

03

Step
2 mins

Carefully dip each cheese curd into the prepared batter, ensuring it is fully coated. (Approximately 2 minutes)

04

Step
4 mins

Working in batches of 4-5, gently place the battered cheese curds into the hot oil. Fry for about 1 minute, or until they turn a beautiful golden brown color, flipping halfway through. (Approximately 3-5 minutes per batch)

05

Step
1 mins

Remove the fried cheese curds from the oil using a slotted spoon and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. (Approximately 1 minute per batch)

06

Step
1 mins

Serve immediately while hot and melty. Enjoy with your preferred dipping sauce, such as ranch dressing, marinara sauce, or a spicy aioli.

For best results, use fresh cheese curds that are cold from the refrigerator. This will help prevent them from melting too quickly in the hot oil.
If you don't have grapeseed oil, you can substitute with another high-heat oil like canola or vegetable oil.
Don't overcrowd the fryer or pan. Frying in batches ensures the oil temperature remains consistent and the curds cook evenly.
Feel free to experiment with different herbs and spices in the batter. Onion powder, paprika, or Italian seasoning would also be delicious additions.

    The gluten-free batter was perfect. Crispy and not at all gummy. Will definitely make again!

    These were so easy to make, and they tasted amazing! My family loved them.

  • Cassandra Stamm

    Be careful not to overcook them. I did that the first time, and the cheese oozed out.

  • Tania Kovacek

    I added a pinch of cayenne pepper to the batter for a little kick, and it was fantastic!
