[Sca-cooks] OT: Frying Cheese

[ysabeau]

I discovered something new at my local HEB (grocery store chain in 
Texas) the other day. It is in the cheese section near the Queso 
Fresco and other Mexican cheeses. It is HEB brand and is called 
Frying Cheese (with a picture of a skillet holding a couple of 
slices of cheese in it). It comes in a plain flavor and in Garlic 
and Herb. With thoughts of the recent Cheese Goo competition in my 
head, I grabbed a package of the Garlic and Herb...not really sure 
what to expect. 

I got home and read the directions and sure enough, you slice it 
into slices and fry it (after spraying the pan with non-stick 
spray). It got nice and brown/crispy on the outside and soft on 
the inside but never really crossed the line to become goo. It was 
really good, but not as good as cheese goo. For those that are on 
the Atkins diet, it is great as a cheese sandwich without the 
bread! It was kind of like eating flavored hot string cheese. 

Just thought I'd pass it on in case anyone else wants to try it.
