Crisp fried jibneh with honey – Bulgarian cheese coated and fried until golden, served with a drizzle of sweet honey. Gluten-free version: Gluten-free breadcrumbs.
💡Work with one "dry" hand for the dry coating and one "wet" hand for the egg, so your fingers don't get caked in layers of coating.
2
On another flat plate, mix the crumbs with the paprika and black pepper.

KnifeCutting board
4
Pat the cutlets dry with paper towels.
5
Pass each cutlet through the breading stations in order, then again through the egg and crumbs, pressing well so the coating sticks.
6
Heat the oil in a wide pan over medium-high heat and fry 2–3 minutes on each side, until the coating is golden and crisp.

💡What you brown (meat, patties, schnitzel) goes into hot oil: in lukewarm oil it soaks it up and comes out greasy. For onion and garlic that you soften, oil heated over medium or low heat is enough; do not wait for it to smoke.
7
Transfer to paper towels.
8
Serve immediately with the honey and sesame seeds.
