Fried Adyghe cheese in garlic oil is a simple yet exquisite dish rooted in Ossetian culinary traditions. Adyghe cheese, known for its soft and delicate flavor, develops an appetizing golden crust when fried. The oil infused with garlic juice adds a spicy aroma and depth of flavor to the cheese, while aromatic herbs and black pepper harmoniously complement its tender texture. This dish pairs perfectly with crispy bread or fresh vegetables and can serve as both an independent snack or an accompaniment to the main course. Its ease of preparation makes it an excellent choice for a cozy dinner or evening gatherings with friends.
