Bolinho de Queijo Frito, translating to "fried cheese ball," is a savory snack originating from Brazil. This indulgent treat is made by blending cheese, typically mozzarella or a local variety like Minas cheese, with flour, eggs, and seasonings to create a smooth dough. The dough is then shaped into bite-sized balls, coated, and deep-fried to golden perfection, resulting in a crispy exterior and a gooey, cheesy center. While beloved for its rich flavor and satisfying texture, Bolinho de Queijo Frito is high in calories and fat due to its fried preparation and cheese content. It provides calcium from the cheese but should be enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet. Often served as an appetizer or party snack, these cheese balls are a delightful nod to Brazil’s love for comfort food and communal dining.
