| 2-3 с.л. | breadcrumbs |

Instructions
- Put the cheese in the freezer for about 10 minutes. Meanwhile, beat the eggs together with the vinegar. Separately, mix the breadcrumbs, ground walnuts, black pepper, basil and oregano.
- Cut the cheese into 4 thicker slabs. Heat some fat in a non-stick pan. Roll the pieces of cheese first in the eggs, then in the breadcrumbs, and again in the eggs. The coating should cover the cheese generously.
- Fry the breaded cheese evenly on both sides. Once nicely browned on one side, carefully turn it over to the other.
- Remove onto a rack lined underneath with kitchen paper. Serve the breaded cheese with walnut crust with a garnish of your choice.
