Ingredients

• 1 cup Gluten-free breadcrumbs
• 1 cup Mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 4 oz Cream cheese, softened
• 2 large Eggs
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 tablespoon Fresh basil, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 cup Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 2 cups Vegetable oil, for frying

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine shredded mozzarella, grated Parmesan, softened cream cheese, chopped parsley, chopped basil, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.

Step 2

Mix the ingredients thoroughly until well combined.

Step 3

Use your hands to form the mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter, and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Step 4

In a shallow dish, whisk the eggs until smooth. Place gluten-free breadcrumbs in another shallow dish.

Step 5

Roll each cheese ball in gluten-free all-purpose flour, then dip it into the beaten eggs, and finally roll it in the gluten-free breadcrumbs to coat evenly.

Step 6

Heat vegetable oil in a deep saucepan over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

Step 7

Carefully drop the cheese balls into the hot oil in batches, allowing them to fry for about 2-3 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy.

Step 8

Using a slotted spoon, remove the cheese balls from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Step 9

Serve the crispy cheese and herb balls warm, garnished with a sprinkle of extra chopped parsley if desired.
