Fried Cheese Balls with Parmesan
Fried Cheese Balls with Parmesan are small, crispy golden spheres made from a mixture of egg whites, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper. Each ball is breaded using a classic three-step coating method: flour, egg yolk, and panko breadcrumbs, then fried in sunflower oil until they develop a crunchy exterior while remaining soft and cheesy inside. These warm bites offer a nutty, salty flavor from the Parmesan and a satisfying crunch from the breadcrumb crust.
