Just wanting to share.....

My newest low carb (ZERO carb actually) discovery.... FRYING CHEESE.... you all probably knew about it, didn't you?? but it's new to me.... and so delicious.... couldn't find Queso Blanco in trips to several stores (still searching), but I did find Queso Panela at our local "Food 4 Less" store, which carries a large assortment of Hispanic cheeses... the Queso Blanco is mentioned first as the best NON-melting cheese, but Panela is right behind it.... just slice into "bars" and throw onto a hot griddle/skillet (I sprayed it lightly with oil) for about 2 mins per side (no coating needed)... it gets a beautiful crust on it, and does NOT melt all over your pan - it keeps it's shape.... it is perfect for a yummy snack or to go with a meal... price is reasonable also... $2.50 here for a 16oz package... quite different than the cheese crisps I am used to making in the microwave.... Poor Ray loved it so much, that we are now on our second package....

does any cheese work? cheddar? mozzerella? ive never geard of queso panela here in uk?

I just found some frying cheese at Wal-Mart last week, and you're right- it's delicious! It's "Wisconsin Farms" brand. I added some coconut oil to my pan just because I put it in everything, and it fried up nice and golden.

Wow I have herd a lot about this.I think I am going to try it out.

i can't wait to find it and try it. we have food maxx/food for less here, i'll have to go look and see if it is something i can have. i restarted today counting everything to keep the menu from 7-15 carbs because that seems to be the only way i'll lose consistently.

Hy Annasophia,

I'm in Uk too and tried with Manchego Cheese (it's spanish as well, delicious and with 0 carb) and IT WORKED perfectly..., it doesn't melt and the taste is absolutely gorgeous.......perfect as a snak or when eating on the move! give it a try!

I used to buy this at out local Super Stuff*Mart, but they stopped carrying it. Bummer. My hubby LOVED it!!

I shred chedder cheese and pan fry it. It crisps up nicely. Mozzarella does not work, that may be because all I can find in the lower-fat varieties.

I do the cheddar cheese ones also... and the cheese crisps are wonderful... but the FRYING CHEESE is another type.... you slice it into about 1/4 inch (or more) thick bars.... and pan fry it.... doesn't melt and crisp up.... it forms a brown crust (great) and keeps it's shape.... it's a different texture.... the two that I know of to do so are Hispanic cheeses: Queso Blanco and Queso Panela... I haven't found the first one yet, but the second one is delicious....

I put a mozzerella stick in the pan and fry until brown on both sides.

wow - these all sound so good. I went to a Pampered Chef party and she showed off how "non stick" the stone ware was by doing the cheddar cheese crisp thing...seeing as I bought tthe pan, you'd think I'd start making the cheese...

I will be looking for that cheese the next time I go shopping!!

Fried camembert or brie is absolutely delicious!!!!!!!

My fave cheeses for frying are Halloumi and Provolone, both which crust over nicely. Neither need extra oil in the pan.

The halloumis is great with an olive oil, lemon and chilli dressing on top.

The provolone is great crumbled onto a caesar salad - a little bit like bacon

I've been meaning to look for this! Sounds so awesome!
