Step 1
Cut the 8 oz Emmental cheese into 1-inch cubes. Place them on a plate and freeze for 20 minutes until firm.
Step 2
Set up a breading station: place 0.5 cup flour in one bowl, beat 2 eggs in a second, and put 1 cup panko in a third.
Step 3
Coat each cheese cube in flour, then egg, then panko, pressing gently to adhere. Repeat for a double coat if desired.
Step 4
Heat 2 cups vegetable oil in a deep skillet to 350°F. Fry the bites in batches, without crowding, until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per batch.
Step 5
Drain on paper towels and sprinkle with 0.5 tsp salt while hot.
Step 6
In a small bowl, mix 0.5 cup Greek yogurt with 0.25 cup chopped parsley. Serve as a dipping sauce.
