Oaxacan string cheese (quesillo)
4 eggs (separated)
Vegetable Oil
Salt to taste
Salsa
Crema
Clean and select Nopales, try to pair similar sizes preferably small.
lace thin slices of cheese on one nopal and cover with a second one, basically making a sandwich. Secure the nopal and cheese with toothpicks. Beat egg whites until they form stiff peaks; gradually beat in salt and yolks. Heat the oil in a large skillet until a few drops of water sprinkled into it bounce around. Dip the stuffed nopales in the egg batter to coat. Fry in the hot oil until golden brown on each side. Drain on paper towels. Top with Salsa of choice, optional Crema and serve. The salsa we use is green tomato and chile de arbol based. Some people add flour to the nopal but we feel with the texture of the nopal it is not required, the batter sticks to the nopal just fine. We also prefer the nopal to be dipped in the batter raw; some may want to boil the nopal. The type of cheese you use can vary.
