Cheese Bites

I love cheese.

I love cheese. period.

Was that cheesy enough?

Hi all.... ever since childhood, my parents have fed my cheese in anything and everything. I remember, them sending cheese slices in my lunch box for kindergarten too. And my teacher seemed to like that about me. Cheese and me go wayyyyy back.

So this blog post is dedicated to my buddy *Cheese* and one awesome way (among many others) to fill yourself on this amazing and humble ingredient. Cheese bites are clearly comfort food but heyyy its not limited to that category.

Here is my recipe of , how to make cheese bites.

Ingredients (makes 7 cheese bites):
Cheddar cheese (shredded 1 and a half cup)
Mozzarella cheese (shredded 1 cup)
Fennel seeds (optional)
Pepper (seasoning)
Milk 3 tbsps
All purpose flour 2 tbsps
Oil for frying

For Coating:
1 beaten egg in a bowl
1 and a half cup of breadcrumbs

Steps:

1. Shred the cheese.

2. Toss in the fennel seeds.

3. Add the flour and milk.

4. Add the seasoning. Mix all of this up and you will get a lump.

5. Roll out balls from this doughy-lumpy mix

6. Dip each ball into the beaten egg and then into the crumbs and set on a plate.

7. Deep fry these on medium heat (make sure the oil is hot). Fry till golden brown evenly.

*Avoid frying them for longer because the cheese can burst out if you haven't coated each ball well.
*Serve with ketchup
* I haven't added any salt because for me cheese is already kind of salty. But you can add some salt if you like.
* You can use you choice of cheese, but make sure you add mozzarella to give that stringy effect.


Enjoy!
