Fried Cheese.

Fried cheese is one of the simplest yet incredibly delicious dishes of Georgian cuisine. Its preparation history is rooted in the traditions of mountainous regions where cheese has always been an important part of the diet. The combination of a crispy golden crust and a soft, gooey center creates a unique flavor contrast that delights gourmets. The breadcrumb coating securely holds the melted cheese inside, making each piece perfect for enjoyment. It is often served with sauces, fresh vegetables, or herbs to enhance the flavor profile. This makes for an excellent appetizer for any feast and a great option for a quick snack when craving something hearty yet simple. Fried cheese pairs perfectly with a glass of red wine or a cool refreshing drink, highlighting its rich taste.
