Instructions
-
Prepare the Cheese Mixture: In a bowl, mix the egg yolks with your chosen cheese until well combined and creamy.
-
Whip the Egg Whites: In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form, which will add lightness to your cheese mixture.
-
Combine Mixtures: Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the cheese mixture, taking care to maintain the airiness of the egg whites.
-
Heat the Oil: In a deep skillet or frying pan, heat vegetable oil to 180°C (350°F). The oil should be hot enough for frying but not smoking.
-
Shape and Fry: Using a spoon, scoop the cheese mixture and form it into balls. Carefully place the balls into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side.
-
Drain and Serve: Once browned, remove the cheese balls from the oil and drain them on kitchen paper to absorb excess oil. Serve warm and enjoy!
These Fried Cheese Ball Appetizers are not only quick and easy but also a perfect addition to any appetizer platter, making them an ultimate choice for your next party or gathering.
