Ingredients
  

  • 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

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.
  • Delicious Cheesy Parmesan Mozzarella Bites are not just a snack; they’re the beginning of countless happy moments shared with family and friends. With their simple preparation and irresistible taste, they’re destined to be a favorite. Ready to try your hand at this culinary delight? Let’s get cooking!
