Crunchy deep-fried cheese is irresistible in this gourmet vegetarian starter.
- Place the Taleggio slices in the freezer for 15 minutes.
- Divide tomato between 4 serving plates, top with onion and scatter with basil. Mix together the 1/4 cup of oil and vinegar and season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
- Remove cheese from the freezer and dip in the flour, then the egg and finally the breadcrumbs. Place in the fridge while you half-fill a deep saucepan with oil over high heat and heat to 180°C or until a cube of bread sizzles and turns golden in about 10 seconds. When hot, deep-fry cheese for about 2-3 minutes or until golden, turning if necessary.
- Drizzle the salad with dressing and place two wedges of cheese on top. Serve immediately.
