Nuggets with cheese and herbs
4 servings
30 minutes
Cheese and herb nuggets are a delicious and crispy treat from American cuisine. This variation of classic nuggets is enriched with the aroma of dill, the spiciness of mustard, and the rich flavor of melted hard cheese. Thanks to the breadcrumb coating and double dipping in egg, they achieve a golden crust and tender texture inside. They can be pan-fried or deep-fried, removing excess fat with a paper towel. Nuggets pair perfectly with sauces, fresh vegetables, or potato sides, making them an excellent choice for family dinners or friendly gatherings.
