Ingredients
- 200 grams Cheddar cheese
- 100 grams Cream cheese
- 100 grams All-purpose flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 150 grams Breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 500 milliliters Vegetable oil
Directions
Step 1
Grate the cheddar cheese and mix it with the cream cheese in a large bowl until fully combined.
Step 2
Divide the cheese mixture into 20 small, equal-sized portions and roll them into balls. Place them on a plate and refrigerate for 10-15 minutes to firm up.
Step 3
Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls: one with all-purpose flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs mixed with paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Step 4
Coat each cheese ball in the flour, then dip it into the egg, and finally roll it in the breadcrumb mixture until fully coated. Repeat this process for all cheese balls.
Step 5
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep skillet or saucepan over medium heat until it reaches 180°C (350°F).
Step 6
Fry the coated cheese balls in small batches for 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp. Use a slotted spoon to remove them and drain on a plate lined with paper towels.
Step 7
Serve the hot cheese bites immediately with dipping sauces of your choice, such as marinara, ranch, or chili sauce.
