Feta cheese fried in cheese and almond breading
1 serving
7 minutes
Fried brinza in a cheese-almond crust is a refined combination of the salty taste of brinza and a crispy coating infused with nutty-cheese notes. The dish is inspired by Mediterranean traditions where cheese is often fried to give it new texture and depth of flavor. Almond flour and parmesan create a rich aroma, while lemon zest adds a light citrus freshness. This appetizer pairs perfectly with wine evenings, complementing rich red wines or light white varieties. The crispy crust hides the tender core of brinza that melts in your mouth, leaving a noble aftertaste. Fried brinza is ideal as an independent snack or combined with fresh vegetables and herbs, adding a touch of sophistication to any feast.
