FRYING CHEESE RECIPES RECIPES

Steps:

• 1. Preheat your oven to 200ºC/400ºF/gas 6.
  2. Cook the macaroni in a pan of salted boiling water 2 minutes short of the timing on the packet instructions, then drain in a colander and reserve a little of the cooking water.
  3. Heat the oil in a large heavy-based frying pan, add the marjoram or oregano and fry for a minute until it starts to crisp up, then turn off the heat.
  4. Add your cooked pasta to the marjoram or oregano butter, along with a couple of spoonfuls of the reserved cooking water and the Parmesan, fontina or Taleggio and mascarpone.
  5. Return to a medium heat and toss and stir around until most of the cheese has melted and you have a lovely gooey sauce – you may need to add a little more of the reserved cooking water.
  6. Season to taste with sea salt and black pepper, then tip it all into an earthenware dish. Grate over a quarter of the nutmeg, tear over the mozzarella and sprinkle over the extra Parmesan.
  7. Bake the macaroni cheese in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes, finishing up with a quick whack under the grill, until golden brown and crispy on top.

Steps:

• 1. Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl, season with a pinch of sea salt and black pepper, then beat well with a fork until fully combined.
  2. Place a small non-stick frying pan on a low heat to warm up.
  3. Grate the cheese onto a board and set aside.
  4. Add ½ tablespoon of oil to the hot pan, then carefully pour in the eggs.
  5. Tilt the pan to spread them out evenly, using a fork to swirl the eggs around the pan a little.
  6. When the omelette begins to cook and firm up, but still has a little raw egg on top, sprinkle over the cheese.
  7. Using a spatula, ease around the edges of the omelette, then fold it over in half.
  8. When it starts to turn golden brown underneath, remove the pan from the heat and slide the omelette onto a plate. Delicious with a tomato salad and wholemeal bread.
