Ingredients

• 2 cups Cheddar cheese, shredded
• 1 cup Mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 1 cup Gluten-free breadcrumbs
• 0.5 cup Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 cups Vegetable oil
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine the shredded cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until the spices are evenly distributed throughout the cheese.

Step 2

In a separate shallow bowl, place the gluten-free all-purpose flour. In another shallow bowl, beat the eggs well. In a third shallow bowl, place the gluten-free breadcrumbs.

Step 3

Take approximately a tablespoon of the cheese mixture and roll it into a ball with your hands.

Step 4

Dredge the cheese ball lightly in the gluten-free all-purpose flour, then dip it into the beaten eggs, ensuring it is fully coated.

Step 5

Roll the coated cheese ball in the gluten-free breadcrumbs until evenly covered.

Step 6

Repeat the process with the remaining cheese mixture.

Step 7

In a large deep skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer for accurate measurement.

Step 8

Carefully add a few cheese balls at a time to the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the skillet. Fry for about 2-3 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and crispy.

Step 9

Use a slotted spoon to transfer the fried cheese balls to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Step 10

Repeat the frying process with the remaining cheese balls.

Step 11

Serve the gluten-free crispy cheese balls warm, garnished with chopped parsley if desired.
