Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Neutral oil like canola or sunflower for frying
Instructions:
Preparation: Combine both types of cheese and egg whites in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Mix until well combined and refrigerate for about 30 minutes to firm up.
Form the Balls: Once chilled, form the mixture into small balls. A good size is about a tablespoon each.
Frying Setup: Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat. You’ll want the oil hot enough so that it sizzles when a cheese ball is added.

Frying: Fry the cheese balls in batches to avoid overcrowding, which can lower the oil’s temperature and cause soggy balls. Fry until golden brown and crispy.
Serving: Drain on paper towels and serve hot with your choice of dipping sauce like marinara or a spicy aioli.
Conclusion:
These fried cheese balls are not only a crowd-pleaser but also a wonderful starter that pairs perfectly with a variety of dips.
Enjoy them freshly made for the best taste and texture.
