If you're looking for an appetizer that will satisfy kids and adults alike, look no further than Trader Joe's new Breaded Cheddar Cheese Curds.
To create its new Breaded Cheddar Cheese Curds, Trader Joe's went straight to the cheese curd capital of the U.S.: Wisconsin. The Wisconsin Cheddar cheese curds are then coated with a savory batter and then fried until golden brown. The result is a cheesy, crispy, and squeaky treat that is similar to that of fried halloumi or bread cheese.
Best of all, the new Breaded Cheddar Cheese Curds are sold frozen, so all you need to do to prepare them is pop them in the oven or air fryer and served them warm with your choice of dip or a freshly poured beer.
