The fried Herb Cheese appetizer at 50s prime time is my favorite appetizer there, but the bread it comes with leaves little to be desired. It's like stale french bread! Do you eat it with the bread, alone, or ask the server for something else? I wish this came with a nice softer bread. :(
 
I love this appetizer too (just had it a few days ago!!). I break off a bite-sized piece of the crusty bread, spread the cheese on it, and eat it that way. It's kind of messy if you try to bite into the whole slice because the crumbs go everywhere.

While I don't mind the "stale French bread" :lmao: I agree that something less hard on the teeth might be a better alternative. I don't know what would be good, but maybe something between very soft bread and the very hard bread that they serve now.
 
we :love: the fried herb cheese! Last trip we ordered 3 of them b/c we didn't want to share :rotfl:

I don't think too much about how I eat it though.. I'm too busy fighting off the the other hands :earboy2:
 
I don't eat it, I inhale it! :lmao: Lots of cheese on a little bit of bread. I agree the bread could be a bit softer but I would still want it toasted a bit to hold up under all that cheese. ;) Love this appie!
 
I'm a flying crumbs kind of girl! Usually I slather the entire piece of bread with the insides of the cheese and then start biting pieces off. I'm usually through all the soft insides of the cheese between the two pieces of bread and then end up cutting the crispy outside and just eating it with a fork. Yum!

Can't wait to enjoy this during SWW next month!
 
I don't mind the crunchy bread, and do as others have stated--smear it all over that and eat it, then go for the crust!

However, when I make it at home, I heat up a small french baguette and use that. Not as crispy, but works very well.

you make it at home?? :listen: care to share :teeth:
 
I absolutely adore this appetizer. I honestly think it is what brings many guests back to Prime Time. I use the bread with it and honestly don't mind it being that crunchy. I think it adds a nice touch; kind of like bruschetta.

I do make it at home! It tastes exacly the same! I got the recipe from this board in fact.

Ingredients
4 oz. water
4 oz. lettuce mix
3 beaten eggs
2 oz. raspberry sauce (Melba sauce)
1/2 lb. flour, seasoned
1 qt. soybean or canola oil
1/2 lb. bread crumbs, seasoned
1 French Bread, Sliced, toasted (9")
2 Boursin cheese wheels (5 oz. each)

Method:
Cut cheese wheels in half crosswise with a hot dry knife. Dredge cheese in flour then egg and then bread crumbs. Repeat in egg then bread crumbs. Set aside in refrigerator. Fill a cast iron skillet with oil 1/4" high. Heat oil to 350° and fry cheese until golden brown then flip over and fry the other side. Remove from oil and place on paper towel. Place salad mix on center of plate and arrange bread slices around cheese, top with sauce.

Tips
I tried this last night and I did it by cutting the boursin in to 6 peices and cooked it that way. It meant that they were more bite sized peices but still had the same great taste. Didn't try it with the sauce or salad either and found I only used one egg as it is just as a binding agent to attach the breadcrumbs to the boursin.


I just cut the wheel of boursin in half, not into the smaller pieces the poster suggested and it comes out fine (I like it to look as close to the real thing as possible ;) ) In fact, I made my husband go out and buy some boursin so I could make it to have with dinner tonight!

Uh oh, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but we just ate at 50s Prime Time this afternoon and it was no longer on the menu (DH had been planning to order it). This was at lunchtime...not sure if it might still be there for dinner.

I will definately order this for my appetizer. It sounds soooo good!

I'm not fond of any of the restaurants at Disney Studios, but agree the fried cheese appetizer (along with the peanut butter/jelly shakes:rotfl: ) are among the best things at MGM.

I've never had this, but it sounds really good. Naturally, I just had to look for pics. ;) My DH & DS would love it. They'd only want the cheese & bread though. What recipe items do I need to make just the cheese wheel? gismo1554's tips, "Didn't try it with the sauce or salad either and found I only used one egg as it is just as a binding agent to attach the breadcrumbs to the boursin", makes me think I won't need everything in the recipe. Is that the case? TIA for sharing the recipe & instructions with us. :)
 
It is definitely still on the menu as of yesterday. Its their most popular appetizer.

I love the bread, so no complaints there! Yum yum!

Were you there at lunch or dinner? Hubby specifically wanted to get it yesterday and it wasn't on there at lunchtime. He will be very disappointed if he somehow missed it!

You just need the cheese, flour, eggs, breadcrumbs and oil for the cheese itself. I use italian seasoned breadcrumbs and canola oil, and it tastes exactly the same. Believe me, I've had enough of it to know! :rotfl:
 
Does anyone have a picture of the inside? Or a picture of it spread on the bread? I can't imagine this. I've seen pictures of it untouched so I always imagined it to be like ... a mozarrella stick ... so that's not exactly spreadable. I love cheese and would love to try this!
