Fried White Cheese Balls are a delightful snack originating from Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisines, celebrated for their creamy texture and rich flavor. Made with white cheese, such as feta or halloumi, these balls are typically mixed with flour, eggs, and seasoning to form a dough before being rolled into bite-sized portions and deep-fried to crispy golden perfection. While they make for a satisfying treat, their health profile is mixed. The cheese is a good source of calcium and protein, supporting bone and muscle health, but the deep-frying process introduces extra fats and calories, making moderation key. These cheese balls are often enjoyed as appetizers or paired with fresh sides like salads to balance their richness. Their versatility makes them an indulgent yet flavorful choice for gatherings or small bites.
