Ingredients
- 6 ounces bread (6 slices white bread)
- 16 ounces Gruyère cheese (grated)
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1/8 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
- 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 2 large eggs (lightly beaten)
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 1/4 cup wine (dry white)
- 2 tablespoon kirsch (cherry brandy)
- Canola oil, for frying
How to Make
-
Step 1: Using a 3" ring cutter, cut one round from center of each slice of bread; reserve crusts for another use. Mix cheese, flour, nutmeg, garlic, eggs, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Slowly add wine and kirsch; stir until a thick paste forms. Divide mixture between bread rounds, and using wet hands, mold cheese mixture into smooth 1½"-high mounds.
-
Step 2: Pour enough oil into a 6-qt. saucepan to reach a depth of 2". Heat until a deep-fry thermometer reads 350°. Fry malakoffs cheese side down, flipping once, until golden brown and bread is crisp, 6–8 minutes. Serve immediately.
