Ingredients for Mozzarella Balls

How to make them

In a blender or food processor (I use a food processor) add the cut up fresh mozzarella, parmesan cheese, parsley salt, bread and egg. Mix together until well combined. It will be slightly sticky.

If you need to lightly dampen your hands with water and form into golf ball size balls. Roll in milk then roll in bread crumbs. Place on a parchment paper lined cookie sheet or plate and refrigerate for about 30-60 minutes. Or even overnight if you wish.

Remove from the fridge and cook, if frying drain on a paper towel lined plate for about 10-15 seconds before serving.

Can they be baked?

Yes if you don’t want to fry them then you can bake them in a pre-heated oven for about 10-15 minutes. Be sure to turn them after about 5-6 minutes.

I know most of us are used to eating a stick of mozzarella that is dredged in egg and then dipped in bread crumbs, but I have to tell you these are just as good if not even better. As the Italians say “”Uno tira l’altro”.” in other words, you can’t stop at one!

Remember to use fresh mozzarella and freshly grated parmesan cheese, your ingredients can make or break your recipe.

When to serve them

These are perfect served as an Appetizer, serve them on game night or even as Italians do as a side with your favourite Pizza Recipe.

How to store them

Any leftovers should be stored in an airtight container and refrigerated. They can be re-heated in the oven or microwave.

Can they be frozen?

I would freeze before they are baked or fried. Freeze them on a cookie sheet in a single layer for a couple of hours, once frozen transfer them to a freezer safe bag or container. They will keep for up to 3 months. They can be fried or baked from frozen. They will probably take a bit longer to cook.

So if you are looking for a delicious appetizer for any occasion I hope you give these Double Cheese Mozzarella Balls a try and let me know what you think. Buon Appetito!
