Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

  • ½ cup grated parmesan cheese

  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs

  • 2 large eggs

  • Salt and pepper, to taste

  • Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven
    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. Mix the Cheeses
    In a large bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella and grated parmesan until fully mixed.

  3. Prepare Egg Wash
    In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs with salt and pepper.

  4. Shape the Bites
    Form the cheese mixture into golf ball–sized rounds.

  5. Coat the Bites
    Dip each cheese ball into the egg mixture, then roll it in panko breadcrumbs until fully coated.

  6. Bake
    Place the coated bites on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15–20 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp.

  7. Serve
    Garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Serve warm and enjoy the melty goodness!

Notes

  • Add seasoning: Mix garlic powder, Italian seasoning, or paprika into the breadcrumb mixture for extra flavor.

  • Air fryer option: Air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 8–10 minutes, shaking halfway through.

  • Spicy kick: Add crushed red pepper flakes to the cheese mixture for a little heat.

  • Prevent spreading: Chill formed cheese bites for 10–15 minutes before coating to help them hold their shape.
