How to deep fry cheese balls at home? Very simple and fast. First, prepare the necessary ingredients according to the list. Cheese can be taken by anyone, but it should melt well. Non-brine mozzarella for pizza or ordinary hard cheeses like Gauda or Rossiyskaya will do.

Grate the cheese and place in a bowl.

Add the eggs and garlic clove passed through the press to the cheese. Salt everything to taste and mix.

Pour in the flour and mix thoroughly. The mass should be thick and not spread. Pour some more flour in if needed.

With slightly wet hands, form even round walnut-sized balls from the cheese mass. Now roll cheese balls well on all sides in crackers. To make them beautiful, and the breading fits tightly to the cheese, crackers take a larger grind, rich yellow and already with spices. If you have the usual whitish breadcrumbs, add paprika, turmeric, salt and pepper to taste on your own.

In a saucepan over a medium heat, heat the vegetable oil until it starts to crackle. To check how hot the oil is, you can lower a wooden skewer into it. Small bubbles will appear around it. The oil should be enough to completely cover the balls. Fry the cheese balls in boiling oil until golden brown. The finished balls will surface.

Transfer the finished breaded cheese balls to paper wipes to remove excess fat.

Garnish the hot snack with fresh greens and serve immediately while the cheese stretches. Various sauces can be served for the snack. Enjoy your meal!
