PREPARATION:

1. Separate the utensils and ingredients for the recipe. The yield of this recipe is 20 balls of 15g each for every 2 portions.
2. Process or grate the cheeses.

PREPARATION:

CHEESE BALL – Preparation of the dough:

1. In the bowl, or in the food processor, where the grated or processed cheeses are located, mix the flour, butter and egg(s) and mix.
2. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
3. Blend in the food processor or knead with your hands until a smooth dough forms: test by forming a ball.

CHEESE BALL – Sandwich and Bread:

1. With 1 spoon (about ¾ of the volume) take a portion of the dough and form a ball weighing 15 g, rolling it with your hands.
2. Repeat the operation with the entire dough.
3. Place the breadcrumbs on a plate and cover the balls.
4. Place the balls on a baking tray lined with baking paper, without overlapping them.
5. At this point the meatballs can be fried for immediate consumption, or frozen.
6. To freeze them, place them in the freezer on the tray, keeping them separate and placed on baking paper so they don’t stick together and when they are firm, transfer them to a plastic bag. They keep in the freezer for 30 days and can be fried without thawing.

CHEESE BALL – Fry (do this step just before serving):

1. Heat a pan with oil, enough for frying.
2. Heat the oil well: if you can, measure the temperature: 180°C. Important: inappropriate temperatures can compromise crispiness or cause excessive oil absorption.
3. Arrange the balls in small quantities proportional to the size of your pan.
4. Brown it on one side and turn it with a slotted spoon to brown the other.
5. Let it drain on a rack or colander.
6. Dry well with absorbent paper.

FINALIZATION AND ASSEMBLY:

1. Serve the cheese balls warm so that they are well melted and have a soft bite when bitten.
