Cheese Balls
These cheese balls are ideal for serving at parties or as kids' snacks. Cheesy, crunchy, and delicious, they are easily customisable. The irresistible combination of a crunchy outer crumb and a gooey cheesy centre make them a crowd favourite.
Ingredients
- 200 g Mozzarella Cheese Shredded
- 1/2 cup Plain Flour
- 1/2 cup Breadcrumbs
- 2 large Eggs
- 1/2 tsp Dried Oregano
- 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
- Salt To taste
- Black Pepper To taste
- Vegetable Oil For frying
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine shredded mozzarella cheese, dried oregano, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
- Take small amounts of the cheese mixture and shape them into balls. Place them on a plate and refrigerate for at least 10 minutes.
- Prepare three separate bowls for plain flour, beaten eggs, and breadcrumbs.
- Coat each cheese ball with the plain flour, dip them in the beaten eggs, and roll them in the breadcrumbs.
- Heat a deep pan with sufficient vegetable oil for deep-frying the cheese balls. Once the oil is hot, add the cheese balls in small batches and fry until golden brown, which usually takes 2-3 minutes.
- Use a slotted spoon to remove the fried cheese balls from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb the excess oil.
- Serve the fried cheese balls hot with your preferred dipping sauce, such as marinara sauce or garlic aioli.
