The crispy outer crust and soft, cheesy interior make it impossible for kids and adults alike to resist. The bread cheese cutlet recipe is easy and fast. For these cutlets, you will require bread slices, preferably white or whole wheat; grated cheese is essential, like cheddar or mozzarella, boiled potatoes, onions, green chillies, and a mix of spices. The filling preparation includes mashed boiled potatoes mixed with grated cheese, chopped onions, crushed green chillies, cumin, coriander powder, and salt for seasoning. The stuffing is then used in slices of bread. This cutlet of bread cheese is prepared by flattening the bread lightly and then filling it between two slices. The filling is sealed to the edges of the bread so that it does not fall off. The cutlets are then in the batter made from flour and water and deep-fried until golden and crispy. Once the cutlet is fried, it can already be served. As another flavour, it will go excellent with different chutneys, especially green or tamarind chutney. This bread cheese cutlet recipe has a lot of flexibility and can be modified according to personal preference with vegetables or other cheeses.

FAQs

What type of bread should I use for making Bread Cheese Cutlet?

For Bread Cheese Cutlet, soft white bread or whole wheat bread is preferred because they are relatively easy to mash and mix well with the rest of the ingredients. Avoid crusty or thick bread, which may make a mushy and heavy mixture. If you want a richer flavour, you can also have buttered bread. It adds a little extra to the cutlets' taste. Just ensure that you remove the crust if you want a smoother texture.

How do I prepare Bread Cheese Cutlet in advance?

You can prepare Bread Cheese Cutlet in advance. Once the mixture of cutlets is formed into patties, it can be refrigerated for up to 4-6 hours before frying or baking. This will make the cutlets easier to handle while cooking. The uncooked cutlets can be frozen if you plan to keep them longer. Just place them on a baking tray, freeze until solid, then transfer to a ziplock bag or airtight container. When ready to cook, fry or bake directly from the freezer.

Can I make Bread Cheese Cutlet vegan?

Yes, Bread Cheese Cutlets can be made vegan using dairy-free cheese and replacing eggs with a plant-based binder. Instead of mashed potatoes, you can use chickpea flour or a mixture of ground flaxseeds and water to help bind the ingredients together. Use regular crumbs with no animal derivatives for a crunchy coating. These adjustments will still lead to a tasty, crispy cutlet with gooey cheese in the middle.
