How to Deep Fry a Grilled Cheese Sandwich

* 2 slices of white bread

* 2 slices of American cheese

* 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour

* 1/2 teaspoon of salt

* 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper

* 1 egg, beaten

* 1/2 cup of vegetable oil

* 1/4 cup of butter, divided

Instructions

1. Preheat the oil. Heat the vegetable oil in a large saucepan or Dutch oven over medium heat until the oil reaches 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

2. Prepare the breading station. In a shallow dish, combine the flour, salt, and black pepper. In another shallow dish, whisk together the egg and milk.

3. Assemble the grilled cheese sandwiches. Place one slice of bread on a cutting board. Top the bread with a slice of cheese, and then another slice of bread. Press down gently to seal the sandwich. Repeat this process with the remaining bread and cheese.

4. Dredge the sandwiches in the flour mixture. Coat both sides of each sandwich in the flour mixture.

5. Dip the sandwiches in the egg mixture. Dip each sandwich in the egg mixture, allowing the excess to drip off.

6. Fry the sandwiches. Place the sandwiches in the hot oil and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the sandwiches are golden brown and crispy.

7. Drain the sandwiches. Remove the sandwiches from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain.

8. Serve the sandwiches. Serve the grilled cheese sandwiches immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.

Tips for Deep Frying Grilled Cheese Sandwiches

* Be sure to heat the oil to the correct temperature before frying the sandwiches. If the oil is too hot, the sandwiches will burn. If the oil is too cool, the sandwiches will not cook properly.

* Cook the sandwiches for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.

* Drain the sandwiches on a paper towel-lined plate to remove any excess oil.

* Serve the sandwiches immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
