Irresistible Cheesy Parmesan Mozzarella Bites for Parties: An Ultimate Recipe

Ingredients

– 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
– 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
– 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
– 2 large eggs
– 1 cup breadcrumbs (preferably Italian seasoned)
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
– Cooking spray or oil for frying
– Marinara sauce (for dipping, optional)

Instructions

Creating Irresistible Cheesy Parmesan Mozzarella Bites for Parties is a simple process that anyone can follow. Just stick to these steps:

1. Prep the Cheese: In a medium bowl, mix the shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese until well combined.

2. Form Bites: Using your hands, scoop about a tablespoon of the cheese mixture. Roll it into a ball and place it on a baking sheet. Repeat until all cheese mixture is formed into balls.

3. Prepare the Breading Stations: Set up three shallow bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and the last one with breadcrumbs mixed with garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.

4. Bread the Bites: Take each cheese ball, coat it in flour, then dip it into the beaten eggs, and finally roll it in the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring it’s evenly coated.

5. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet, add enough oil to cover the bottom. Heat over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking.

6. Fry the Bites: Carefully add the cheese bites to the hot oil in batches, avoiding overcrowding. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side.

7. Drain Excess Oil: Once cooked, transfer the bites onto a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.

8. Keep Warm: Place the fried bites in a warm oven (around 200°F) if you’re making several batches.

9. Serve: These bites are best enjoyed warm, fresh from the fryer.
