This is the day where people all across the United States can come together for their unwavering love of deep-fried cheese. And who can blame them? These crispy, battered pieces of perfection are simply irresistible.

In honor of this prestigious holiday, we have put together a few of our favorite ways to incorporate cheese curds into different menu options. The versatility of these little guys is practically endless, and your guests will not be disappointed by these fun and flavorful offerings!

Nacho Enhancer

When it comes to nachos, cheese is a major component. Why not double down on cheesiness and throw in some bite-sized bursts of goodness. Crunchy tortilla chips are topped with shredded Monterey Jack, diced chicken, fresh salsa and of course, fried cheese curds. Your diners will not be able to resist this twist on a mealtime favorite.

Burger Topper

Imagine a juicy, medium rare burger, served on a toasted potato roll with barbeque sauce, caramelized onions, and of course, deep-fried cheese curds. These crunchy, yet creamy pillows of cheddar add both texture and flavor to a classic menu staple.

Sandwich Filler

Looking to add a pop to your paninis? Look no further than the delectable, deep-fried cheese curd. Take even the simplest sandwich to the next level by ditching the sliced American or provolone and instead, slipping these sensational curds between the bread. This little trick makes each and every bite simply irresistible.

Now, that is just a taste of some of the ways to make menu magic with deep-fried cheese curds. Don’t be afraid to test out any fun combinations or ideas you may have. You are only limited by your own imagination!
