Sardines Stuffed with Cabrales Cheese Recipe

Ingredients to make Sardines Stuffed with Cabrales Cheese:

• 100 grams of Cabrales cheese.
• 2 Eggs (Breaded).
• Flour (Breaded).
• Olive oil.

How to make Stuffed Sardines with Cabrales Cheese:

1. We clean the sardines well inside and out. To open them, very carefully, we remove the central spine and cut off the tail if it resists us. We also remove any thorns that may remain attached to the meat of the sardine.
2. We put a sardine on a plate with the skin on the plate and we are placing pieces of cheese. Cabrales cheese is not very easy to laminate, so if it cracks when you cut it, don’t be scared, the loose pieces are placed in it and nothing happens. For the most exquisite, instead of putting the chopped cheese you can prepare a rich cream by mixing well in a bowl a little Cabrales cheese with a little Austrian Cider (the one to pour).
3. We put another sardine with the skin on the outside, acting as a cover, and reserve. Heat a frying pan with plenty of oil.
4. Touch the batter. Prepare a plate with the flour and another with the beaten eggs. We start by passing the sardines through the flour and then through the beaten egg.
5. We are adding them to the pan and let them fry until they are golden brown.
6. We take them out of the pan and leave them on absorbent paper so that they release the excess oil and they would be ready to eat.
