APPENZELLER CHEESE CRISPS



Appenzeller Cheese Crisps image

Lacy, savory, funnel-cake-like squiggles, made with the mild Swiss cheese known as Appenzeller, are unbelievably light because of the carbonation of the beer in the batter. They are wonderful when hot - and they're still amazing at room temperature or even a few days later if you can keep them around that long. ;o) You'll need a 12-oz plastic squeeze bottle with a 1/16-inch hole in tip and a deep-fat thermometer.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your cheese crisps will be. Look for Appenzeller cheese that is full-flavored and has a slightly nutty taste.
  • Grate the cheese finely: This will help the cheese melt evenly and prevent it from becoming clumpy.
  • Use a non-stick skillet: This will help prevent the cheese crisps from sticking to the pan.
  • Cook the cheese crisps over medium-low heat: This will help them cook evenly without burning.
  • Be patient: It takes a few minutes for the cheese crisps to cook through. Don't rush the process or you'll end up with burnt cheese.
  • Serve the cheese crisps immediately: They are best enjoyed fresh out of the pan.
