Original Recipe Yield 2 sandwiches
 

Ingredients

  • 1 quart oil for frying
  • 4 teaspoons mayonnaise
  • 4 slices white bread
  • 4 slices Cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 cups dry bread crumbs

Directions

  1. Heat oil in a deep-fryer to 365 degrees F (180 degrees C).
  2. Spread one teaspoon of mayonnaise onto each slice of bread. Place 2 pieces of cheese onto one slice of bread, then top with the other side of bread. The mayonnaise should be on the inside. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk. Place the bread crumbs into another dish. Dip each sandwich into the egg mixture, then coat with bread crumbs.
  3. One at a time, immerse the sandwiches in the preheated oil. Fry until the cheese is melted, and the crust is golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Repeat with the other sandwich. Place on paper towel to absorb excess oil before serving.

Footnotes
