Easy Fried Cheese Balls Recipe- you will love these irresistible crispy bites that melt in your mouth. They are only made with 4 simple ingredients and take 20 minutes!

Ingredients

  • 2 cups finely grated parmigiano cheese
  • 1 1/4 cups finely grated mozzarella cheese
  • 3 egg whites
  • Salt and Freshly Ground Black Pepper to taste
  • 4 cups neutral oil for frying (canola, sunflower, peanut, or canola)

Directions

  1. 1

    Grate both of the cheeses with a box cheese grater or microplane. Make sure to grate the cheese finely. This will produce a super melty fried cheese ball. Cover and set the cheese aside. 

  2. 2

    Heat a pan with at least 4 inches of oil- wait until the oil is hot at 350 degrees F. Fry the cheese balls for about 2 minutes, moving them around with a slotted spoon until nicely colored. Fry in batches and don't overcrowd the pan, or they will stick together and not cook properly.
