| Sulguni cheese | Pepper mixture | Red pepper | Flour | Vegetable oil |
A delicious dish that will be a great addition to a light salad or as a breakfast snack.
- 10 minutes Serves 4 Not difficult
I’ll warn you right away, fried cheese is a very filling dish, so don’t try to cook it a lot. You won’t eat a large amount, and cooled fried cheese is no longer as tasty as warm one right out of the frying pan. Fried suluguni is a Georgian dish and is usually served with spicy sauces. But I think this cheese can be served with creamy or yogurt sauces, although the cheese itself is delicious. Grilled cheese is a great appetizer to pair with wine or beer.
In order to properly fry the cheese, it must be rolled in something. The breading can be bread crumbs, beaten egg, flour, ground nuts, sesame seeds, batter... Today I will fry suluguni cheese in flour with seasonings. If you're a fan of hot or spicy things, add your favorite hot spices, curry, garlic...delicious too!
I'll tell you about some of the nuances when frying cheese. When frying, do not move far from the pan; the cheese cooks quickly, literally in a few seconds. To prevent the cheese from floating, fry it in a hot frying pan over high heat. Do not keep the cheese in the pan until it is completely baked, only until it browns, then immediately turn it over. Do not leave the finished fried suluguni in a hot frying pan. The approximate time for frying the cheese (in this recipe) on each side is 30 - 40 seconds. In general, the frying time depends on the size and thickness of the piece. From the specified amount of ingredients you get 4 - 6 large pieces. For convenience, long slices from the middle of the cheese can be cut in half.
Step by step recipe
Prepare the breading. In a large bowl, mix the sifted flour, a pinch of mixed pepper seasoning and add sweet red pepper to taste.
Cut the cheese into beautiful long pieces. The slices should be about the thickness of a finger.
Roll the cheese pieces in flour breading on all sides. Heat a frying pan with a small amount of vegetable oil (2 tablespoons is enough). Place cheese dredged in flour onto a hot frying pan.
Fry the cheese until the top is crispy, then immediately turn over. For convenience, I use a spatula and fork. Tip: To prevent the cheese from spreading, you need to fry it over high heat. There is no need to fry the cheese, just brown it. Place the tender fried cheese on a plate; serve the cheese immediately before it gets cold. You too will feel the joy of soft, warm cheese in your mouth. Bon appetit!

Ooooh, how it stretches fried - delicious and just melts in your mouth :P, there is also smoked sulguni, with a hard smoked crust. And if you put it in hot Georgian bread, it melts there itself and it’s completely unique.
After a trip to the Czech Republic, we just got hooked on fried cheese. I need to try this recipe, otherwise I’ve only baked cheese in the oven before.
Before, I couldn’t understand how cheese could be fried) It never occurred to me that it was so simple! I think it's probably very tasty)
I found several recipes on the Internet on how to cook suluguni at home. I really like this cheese, and it is sold quite a lot in our market. But I want to try it myself, especially since it’s not that difficult to make. And here is your recipe with fried suluguni. I'm sure it's incredibly tasty, but it's still high in calories, damn it. But I'll try once. Spring is still around the corner. We need to do something about excess weight. But, of course, thanks for the idea! I wouldn't have thought of it myself.
Fried suluguni in beer batter
Beer batter is ideal not only for fish. The suluguni cheese in it is simply delicious.
Ingredients
A glass of flour;
300 g cheese;
200 ml beer;
Vegetable oil for frying.
Preparation
1. Immediately cut the cheese into sticks or small cubes, as you prefer.
2. Break the eggs into a bowl and whisk with a whisk. Since suluguni is salty, there is no need to salt the dough. But you can add other spices to the eggs, such as pepper.
3. Now you need to pour in the beer. It is better if the drink is dark, stir and immediately add flour, do it quickly to keep gas bubbles in the drink.
4. Pour oil into the frying pan and place it on the stove.
5. Dip pieces of suluguni one by one into the batter, place in hot fat, and fry until the dough is golden brown.
6. First place the finished slices on paper towels to remove excess oil, then onto a plate.
If there is little cheese, but you need a lot of food, cut the product into small pieces and give preference to batter rather than breadcrumbs. So from 200 g of cheese you can prepare three large servings.
There's batter left, no cheese? A wise housewife never wastes anything! Fry any other product in it, for example, crab sticks, other cheese, sausages or sausage. It will turn out great!
Pieces of cheese dressed in a coat of breading can be frozen. You will have a ready-made semi-finished product at hand, which at any moment will turn into a chic snack. There is no need to defrost the suluguni before frying; the cheese will come off during the process.
You should not add dried dill to breadcrumbs. It burns very quickly, and there will be black spots and marks on the surface.
It is not necessary to use only wheat flour for breading. You can dip pieces of suluguni in ground oatmeal, bran, or crushed corn grits.
I really love fried suluguni cheese. In general, ideally, it would be nice if the cheese was smoked; you don’t even need to roll it in flour. But, unfortunately, they don’t sell it here, and I only get it after trips to Georgia.
A very simple snack. As simple as it is quick to prepare. The truth disappears from the table quite quickly, especially if accompanied by beer.
All you need to prepare is:
- Sulguni cheese
- Breadcrumbs
- Chicken eggs
- Optional - good adjika or seasonings to taste
- Vegetable oil for frying
Break the egg into a suitable bowl,
Let's talk him out. If desired, add adjika and/or seasonings.
Then cut the cheese into slices about 1 cm thick.
Dip the cheese into the egg, one slice at a time.
then bread it in breadcrumbs.
We repeat the process 2 or 3 times. The main task is to achieve a dense shell of breadcrumbs on the cheese.
Otherwise, when frying, the cheese will simply leak out.
Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan. There is no need to overheat the oil - just heat it well - otherwise the breading will burn instantly. Over medium heat, fry the pieces of cheese on both sides.
Next we serve and serve hot on the table. You can serve the cheese with thick dip sauces, the same “Tzatziki (Tzatziki)”, or the same tomato sauce.
How to fry suluguni cheese in a frying pan
There are several ways to prepare fried slices in a frying pan at home:
- with breading;
- without breading;
- with vegetables and additives.
Frying pieces without breadcrumbs or flour is the most difficult because they tend to melt quickly. Therefore, you should use a dry non-stick frying pan or grill for this. In other cases, it is allowed to cook fried suluguni cheese in a sufficient amount of butter or vegetable oil.
Suluguni
“Soul” and “heart” of Georgian cheese making. This is how the name of Suluguni cheese is translated. The brine variety is made from buffalo, cow or goat milk. The product has a sour milk taste and a pleasant creamy smell. Fried suluguni cheese is one of the popular Georgian snacks. There is more than one recipe for preparing dishes with suluguni, and below is one of them.
A proven cooking method is suluguni in breadcrumbs. You will need cheese, chicken eggs, spices and breadcrumbs for breading, and vegetable oil for frying.
Cut the cheese into large bars. Mix eggs with spices. In a deep frying pan, heat the oil in such an amount that the cheese sticks are immersed in it by at least a third. Dip a piece of cheese into the egg mixture and then roll in breadcrumbs. Fry on each side for 1 minute until golden brown. Fried suluguni cheese is served with fresh vegetables or sauce to your taste.

On ketsi
Ketsi is a Georgian frying pan, actively used for preparing national dishes. How to fry suluguni cheese using it?

Basic Rules
Fried cheese is prepared breaded with flour or sesame seeds. Restaurants often use the smoked variety; it does not require breading and can be immediately dipped in hot oil or grilled. But smoked ones are difficult to find in Russia, so you need to figure out how to bread them correctly.
First you need to roll each piece without leaving open areas. The breading serves as a retaining shell for the suluguni, preventing it from spreading.
You can use batter to which beer has been added (the recipe will be below).
Fry the processed pieces on each side, when the crust becomes crispy and takes on a toasted color, it’s ready.
You can cook fried cheese with vegetables and herbs. The result is a nutritious and tasty treat that does not require much time. The recipe for this dish is simple, the main thing is to make sure that each piece is well breaded; photos of ready-made dishes are easy to find on the Internet.
Recipe for “Fried Suluguni according to Pokhlebkin”:
Here is the main character of Suluguni. There were several types in the store, I chose the one closest to Georgia, produced in Adygea.
This is how it is recommended to cut it. Or rather, almost like that, I cut it a little thinner.
Roll in flour. The maestro recommends rice, and I completely agree with him. You see, the cheese is almost dry, and the flour sticks quite firmly and does not fall off even if you turn it over. In addition, it does not give products that slightly bready taste that regular flour does. I also sprinkled one piece with dried garlic. As tasting later showed, this is unnecessary, although amateurs are not prohibited.
Place in a frying pan with pre-heated oil, sprinkle the top with the remaining flour from the plate and fry over medium heat for 3-4 minutes. under the lid.
Turn over and another 3-4 minutes. already without a lid.
Ready. Unleavened Georgian lavash fits perfectly with this delicious and simple dish.
