Pear and cheddar fritters

1 servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
4 mediums Bartlett pears; peeled
16 slices Sharp cheddar cheese; (1 1/2 x 1 x
; 1/4-inch-thick)
½ cup All purpose flour
2 larges Eggs; beaten to blend
2 cups Fresh white breadcrumbs
Vegetable oil; (for frying)

Directions

Cut 3 thin vertical slices from opposite sides of each pear; discard cores.

Alternating pear and cheese slices, place 2 cheese slices between 3 pear slices for each of 8 fritters. Holding each cheese-pear sandwich firmly together, coat lightly with flour, then eggs, then breadcrumbs, coating completely and pressing crumbs to adhere.

Pour oil into heavy large skillet to depth of 1 inch and heat to 350F. Cook fritters in batches until golden, turning with slotted spoon, about 2 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.

Makes 8.
