Instructions
-1 Line a baking tray with parchment paper. Set aside. -1 In a large bowl, add cheese, eggs, flour, and spices. Use a hand mixer to combine. -1 Scoop the mixture and roll into small balls, this should be approximately 2 tbsp worth. -1 Roll the cheese balls into the bread crumbs, evenly coating them. Place completed cheese balls onto the baking tray and set in the refrigerator for 30 – 45 minutes until thoroughly chilled. -1 As the cheese balls are set up, line another baking tray with a paper towel, to soak up excess oil from frying. -1 After, pour 6-8 cups of vegetable oil into a deep large pot. You will need about 2-3 inches of oil. Heat the oil to 350-355F with a deep-frying or candy thermometer. If the oil is too cooler, the cheese balls will get soggy; and any hotter, they will be too dark and harden. -1 Remove the baking tray from the fridge and carefully place 4 – 5 cheese balls into the oil. Cook until golden brown, about 30 seconds on each side. Drain on a paper towel. -1 Serve immediately with marinara sauce and basil.View original recipe
