Fried mac and cheese balls are a delicious appetizer loved by everyone, featuring a crispy outer coating and a rich, gooey cheese-filled center.
The recipe is easy to prepare, making it an ideal choice for family gatherings or as a tasty snack. Here’s how to make them at home.
Ingredients:
2 cups cooked pasta
1½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons flour
1 cup milk
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
1 cup breadcrumbs
2 beaten eggs
½ cup flour for coating
Oil for deep frying
Ketchup for serving
Method:
Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat, then add the flour and stir for about one minute.
Gradually pour in the milk, stirring continuously until a smooth, creamy sauce forms.
Add the cheddar and mozzarella, along with the salt and black pepper. Stir until the cheese has completely melted.
Add the cooked pasta and stir until it is fully coated in the cheese mixture.
Transfer the mixture to a tray and allow it to cool, then refrigerate for two hours until firm.
Shape the pasta mixture into medium-sized balls. Coat each ball first in flour, then in the beaten eggs, and finally in the breadcrumbs to create a crispy outer layer.
Heat the oil and deep-fry the balls until golden brown and crispy on the outside.
Transfer them to paper towels to remove excess oil, then serve hot with ketchup or your favorite dipping sauce.
