Ingredients
Cheese Balls
- 1/4 Cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese
- 1 Egg White (room temperature)
- Vegetable Oil for frying (amount as needed)
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Gather all your ingredients, ensuring the egg whites are at room temperature for optimal whipping.
- Whisk Egg Whites: Whisk the egg white vigorously until stiff peaks form, indicating it is well-aerated and ready for folding.
- Combine Egg Whites and Cheese: Gently add the whipped egg whites into the shredded cheddar cheese.
- Fold in Egg Whites: Slowly fold the egg whites into the cheese using a fork or spoon, taking care not to deflate the mixture.
- Shape Balls: Shape the mixture into small balls, remembering they will double in size during frying.
- Fry: Heat vegetable oil in a frying pot until hot, then carefully place the cheese balls one by one into the oil.
- Remove and Drain: Once the cheese balls turn a beautiful golden brown, remove them gently with a fork and transfer to a kitchen paper towel to drain excess oil.
Notes
- Ensure egg whites are at room temperature for best whipping results.
- Shape the cheese balls small as they expand while frying.
- Use enough oil to fully submerge the balls for even frying.
- Drain excess oil on paper towels to keep the cheese balls crispy.
- Serve immediately for best texture and flavor.
