Tips

  • Ensure the cheese slices are thoroughly dried before coating to help the flour and egg adhere properly.
  • Watch the cheese closely while baking as ovens vary; you want a golden crust without overcooking the cheese.
  • Serve immediately after baking for the best crispy texture and perfectly melted cheese experience.
