Ingredients
- 8 slices of white or whole wheat bread
- 8 ounces of cheddar cheese, shredded
- 4 ounces of mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1 cup of all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup of breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder

How to Make Cheesy Stacked Fried Sandwiches
- Start by preparing the cheese filling. In a bowl, mix together the cheddar and mozzarella cheeses. Set aside.
- Lay out 4 slices of bread and evenly distribute the cheese mixture on each slice. Top with the remaining slices of bread to create four sandwiches.
- In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper. In another dish, combine the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Place the breadcrumbs in a third dish.
- Heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering.
- Carefully dip each sandwich first into the flour mixture, then the egg mixture, and finally coat them with breadcrumbs, ensuring an even layer on all sides.
- Fry the sandwiches in batches for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Make sure the cheese is melted inside.
- Transfer the fried sandwiches to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- Slice the sandwiches in half and drizzle with your favorite dipping sauce before serving.
Tips for the Best Results
- Use a heavy skillet or deep fryer to maintain even heat while frying.
- Don’t overcrowd the pan; fry in batches if necessary for even cooking.
- Experiment with different cheese combinations for varied flavors.
- For a spicier kick, add jalapeños or pepper jack cheese to the filling.
Easy Variations
- Add cooked bacon or ham between cheese layers for a meaty twist.
- Incorporate sautéed vegetables like spinach or mushrooms for added flavor and nutrition.
- Swap out the dipping sauce for something unique like a honey mustard or buffalo sauce.
