Receta Creamy Cheese Fritters with Thyme
Creamy Cheese: Malakoff is a Swiss fondue appetizer. The original recipe for Malakoffs dates back to the middle ages.This cheese fritter was the inspiration for the very popular mozzarella cheese stick. An almost sinful mixture of Gruyere, garlic, wine, and thyme; scooped onto bread rounds, and fried to perfection.
Adding herbs such as rosemary or oregano will create additional herbaceous flavor notes. You can also sprinkle some paprika or onion powder for additional flavor.
