Hey food lovers! 🌟 Today, I’m excited to share a delicious recipe that’s perfect for snacking or as an appetizer – Cheesy Parmesan Mozzarella Bites! 🧀✨ These little bites are bursting with cheesy goodness, and they’re super easy to make. Trust me, your taste buds will thank you!
Let’s dive into the ingredients you’ll need:
- 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 beaten egg
- 1/2 cup almond flour (or you can use breadcrumbs if you prefer)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil for frying (optional, but highly recommended for that crispy texture!)
Now, let’s get cooking! 🎉 First things first, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) if you’re planning to bake these tasty bites. If you’re in the mood for frying, go ahead and heat some olive oil in a pan over medium heat.
In a mixing bowl, combine that ooey-gooey mozzarella, grated Parmesan, beaten egg, almond flour, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix it all together until you have a lovely, cohesive mixture.
Time to shape them! Roll the mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter. If you’re baking, place those cheesy balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet and pop them in the oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until they’re golden and gooey on the inside. If you’re frying, carefully drop them into the hot olive oil and fry for about 2-3 minutes, turning them occasionally until they’re perfectly golden and crispy.
Once they’re done, let them cool for a moment – they’ll be super hot! And here’s a little secret… these bites are fantastic with a side of marinara or ranch dipping sauce. Dip, bite, and enjoy! 😋🍽️
I hope you try these Cheesy Parmesan Mozzarella Bites at your next gathering or movie night. They are sure to be a hit! Happy cooking! 🎉🧀❤️
