Gluten-Free Three-Ingredient Cheese Balls
Ingredients:
- 4 tablespoons of cornstarch
- 1 egg
- 250 grams of grated mozzarella cheese
Instructions:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the cornstarch, egg, and grated mozzarella cheese. Mix thoroughly until a cohesive dough forms.
- Take portions of the dough and roll them into small balls, ensuring they are evenly sized.
- Place the cheese balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat. There’s no need to grease the baking sheet.
- Transfer the baking sheet to the freezer and let the cheese balls freeze for at least 30 minutes. This step helps the balls hold their shape during frying.
- In a deep frying pan or pot, heat oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (180°C).
- Carefully remove the cheese balls from the freezer and fry them in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry until the balls turn golden brown and crispy, approximately 2-3 minutes.
- Once fried, transfer the cheese balls to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
- Serve the cheese balls hot with your favorite dipping sauces or enjoy them as is. These gluten-free cheese balls are perfect for snacking or as appetizers for any occasion. Enjoy!
