Cheese Balls are a savory snack or appetizer typically made from a blend of shredded cheese, flour, and eggs. They are shaped into small balls and either baked or deep-fried to achieve a crispy exterior and a creamy, cheesy center. Originating from various cuisines, including Southern American and European traditions, their exact preparation can vary significantly, often incorporating spices, herbs, or additional ingredients like cream cheese or breadcrumbs. While their high protein content from cheese and eggs can provide nutritional benefits, Cheese Balls are often high in saturated fats and sodium, particularly when deep-fried, which may not align with a heart-healthy diet. Moderation is key to enjoying this indulgent snack, which can be paired with fresh vegetables or whole grains to create a more balanced meal option. A lighter version can be made by baking instead of frying and opting for reduced-fat cheese.
