Ingredients
- 4 oz crumbled Feta cheese
- 4 oz Grated graviera cheese
- 4 oz Grated gouda cheese
- 1 whole egg
- 1 egg white
- ¼ cup milk
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- vegetable oil for frying
- bread crumbs optional
Instructions
- Take a mixing bowl and the feta cheese, graviera, gouda, and milk.
- Using a blender, combine the mixture until you get a sticky paste-like consistency.
- While blending, season with paprika and pepper.
- If the texture is too runny, add some breadcrumbs and mix well.
- Next, you need to allow the mixture to firm up. For this, cover the mixing bowl with plastic wrap and set it aside in the fridge for 30 minutes.
- Once the mixture is thick and nice, take it out of the fridge and roll it into balls. The preferred size is that of a golf ball, but it totally depends on you.
- Add some flour to a plate and roll the balls into flour. Set aside the cheese balls dipped in flour for 10-15 minutes.
- Take a deep frying pan and heat the vegetable oil to 350°F. Once hot, slowly drop the cheese balls into the frying pan. Don’t put all the balls at once but in batches. This will allow the cheese balls to cook evenly.
- Fry the balls for 2-3 minutes until they turn golden brown.
- Remove the fried feta cheese balls from the pan using a slotted spoon and place them over a paper towel to remove any excess oil.
- Serve hot with marinara sauce.

Notes
- If you don’t have graviera cheese at home or cannot find it at your local grocery store, you can experiment with Gruyere, Parmesan, or Romano cheeses.
