Instructions
- In a medium bowl lightly beat the egg whites, add the parmesan cheese and combine well. Form the mixture into 10 grams / ⅓ ounce size balls and place on a parchment paper lined baking sheet. Chill for 20-30 minutes.
PREPARE THE FOLLOWING WAYS
- 1. deep fried in oil heated to 350F / 180C, turning after 2-3 minutes until golden, move to a paper towel lined dish and serve.
- 2. Bake in a 350F / 180C pre-heated oven for 18-20 minutes or until golden. If you wish you can flip the balls halfway through baking to ensure they are crispy on all sides.
- 3. Bake in an air fryer, pre heat air fryer to 375F / 190C according to manufacturer's instructions. Place parmesan cheese balls in the air fryer basket and spray with olive oil. I line mine with foil and lightly spray the foil also. Cook in the preheated air fryer for 5-6 minutes. Increase temperature to 400F / 200C and air fry for 2-3 more minutes or until golden and baked.
Notes
- The cheese balls turn out more rounded when deep fried, they tend to be a little flat on the bottom with the air fryer and quite flat when baked. All taste delicious though.
- It’s very important that the oil is heated properly before frying the Parmesan cheese balls. The oil should be at 350°F before you place the balls into the oil. If you do not have a thermometer, dip a toothpick into the oil and if you see bubbles form the oil is ready to go.
- While these are best fresh, you can store them up to a day in the refrigerator. They will lose some of their crunch but still be delicious. Do not freeze leftovers.
