Step 1
Mix shredded gruyère and emmental in a bowl with a pinch of salt and pepper until combined.
Step 2
Roll cheese mixture into a tight ball the size of a small grapefruit, then freeze for 5 minutes.
Step 3
Set up three shallow bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, one with panko mixed with a pinch of salt.
Step 4
Coat cheese ball in flour, shaking off excess, then dip in egg, then roll in panko until fully crusted.
Step 5
Heat oil in a deep skillet over medium-high to 350°F, then carefully slide in cheese ball. Fry 3–4 minutes, turning gently once, until deep golden brown.
Step 6
Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels. Serve hot alongside cherry tomatoes and shredded cheese.
