Fried Cheese with Shallot Dressing

1/2 pound fairly mild melting cheese, 1/2 inch thick, then cut in 1 inch squares

Flour for dusting

2 eggs, lightly beaten with 2 teaspoons water

Bread crumbs

Oil for frying

DRESSING

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 teaspoons vinegar

4 teaspoons minced shallot

2 teaspoons minced parsley

1/2 teaspoon small whole or chopped large capers

In a cup combine the dressing ingredients. Dust the cheese pieces with flour, dip in egg, then in the crumbs.

In a skillet, heat the oil at least 1/2 deep to about 380° and fry the cheese quickly until golden on both sides. (You can also deep fry). Drain.

Sprinkle the dressing over the cheese and serve immediately.
