How to Make Delicious Cheesy Parmesan Mozzarella Bites:
Quick Overview:
This recipe revolves around a straightforward process of mixing, rolling, and frying to achieve a crispy exterior and a soft, cheesy interior. The preparation time is minimal, and the bites are ready to enjoy in about 30 minutes.
Key Ingredients for Delicious Cheesy Parmesan Mozzarella Bites:
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- Oil, for frying
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Step-by-Step Instructions:
- Prepare the Cheese Mixture: In a bowl, mix mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses until well combined.
- Form the Bites: Take about a tablespoon-sized portion of the cheese mixture and roll it into a small ball. Repeat until you’ve used all the mixture.
- Dredge: Roll each cheese ball first in flour, then dip in the beaten eggs, and finally coat with panko breadcrumbs. For a double coating, repeat the egg and breadcrumb steps.
- Fry: Heat oil in a deep fryer or large pan over medium heat. Once hot, add the cheese balls in batches and fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
- Serve: Serve hot with your choice of dipping sauce.
What to Serve Delicious Cheesy Parmesan Mozzarella Bites With:
- A hearty marinara sauce for dipping.
- A refreshing side salad to balance the richness.
- For a more indulgent option, pair with a cold beer or a glass of white wine.
Top Tips for Perfecting Delicious Cheesy Parmesan Mozzarella Bites:
- Keep Them Cold: Before frying, place the coated cheese balls in the freezer for 10-15 minutes. This will help them keep their shape and ensure the cheese doesn’t leak.
- Oil Temperature: Maintain the oil at around 350°F (175°C) to achieve a perfect golden crust. Too hot, and they’ll burn; too cool, and they’ll absorb excess oil.
- Excess Coating: Tap off any excess coating before frying to avoid a thick crust and ensure even cooking.
Storing and Reheating Tips:
- Storing: Refrigerate leftovers (if you have any!) in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
- Reheating: Reheat in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 5 minutes or until they’re hot and crisp again.
