Preparation

How to prepare Cheese Balls

To prepare the cheese balls, remove the crust from the cheeses 1 and grate them with a fine-grated grater 2 3. Set the cheeses aside and move on to the bread.

Remove the crust from the bread 4 and cut the crumb into cubes 5, then blend with a mixer 6.

Once you have crumbs 7, mix them with the cheeses 8 and flavor with thyme 9.

Salt 10, pepper, and finally add the eggs 11. Knead with your hands until you get a fairly compact mixture 12.

Form balls weighing about 0.7 oz each 13. With these quantities, you will get 36 balls 14. Now fry in hot oil at 340°F 15. Fry a few balls at a time as they tend to stick together during cooking, and the temperature would drop.
