How To Make cheese balls - yum!

Step 1

In a medium bowl, mix the cheeses, spices. Set aside

Step 2

Beat the egg white till stiff, blend it into the cheese mixture. Add the flour, blend. This will be a loose mixture, but it comes together when rolling in the crumbs.
Step 3

Spoon out about a teaspoonful, roll into bread crumbs and drop into hot oil. You can test the oil with a small amount of mixture, if it sizzles it's ready. These only take a matter of second to brown..watch not to over cook.
Step 4

Serve with your dipping sauces. Enjoy!!
