Cheesy Parmesan Mozzarella Bites: The Ultimate Amazing Recipe


  • Author: Sophia Turner
  • Total Time: 41 minute

Ingredients

– 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
– 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
– 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
– 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (preferably panko for extra crunch)
– 1 large egg
– 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
– 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
– Olive oil or cooking spray (for frying)


Instructions

Follow these simple steps to prepare your Cheesy Parmesan Mozzarella Bites:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Prepare Cheese Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese, mixing well to combine.
3. Create Breading Stations: Set up three separate bowls: one for flour, one for the beaten egg, and one for the breadcrumbs mixed with Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
4. Form Bites: Using your hands, take a small amount of the cheese mixture (about 1 tablespoon) and form it into a ball or bite-sized shape. Repeat until all the mixture is used up.
5. Coat the Bites: Roll each cheese ball first in the flour, then dip it in the beaten egg, and finally coat it with the breadcrumb mixture.
6. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the coated mozzarella bites on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they’re spaced apart to allow even cooking.
7. Drizzle Oil: Lightly drizzle olive oil or spray cooking spray over the bites for extra crispness.
8. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
9. Cool Slightly: Once baked, let the bites cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet before serving.
