A step-by-step recipe for deep-fried meatballs with cheese: a list of necessary products and the technology for preparing meat balls. Video recipes.
Meatballs with cheese are a delicious appetizer for any side dish. They have a high nutritional value, have a rich taste and satisfy hunger well. The rounded shape and fried crust make the balls very appetizing, so they can also be prepared for a festive table.
It is noteworthy that the minced meat, ideally, should be fresh, not frozen and have a small proportion of fat so that the balls form easily and do not disintegrate during heat treatment. In addition, the extra fat content of the minced meat will provide juiciness to the finished meatballs.
Our deep-fried cheese meatball recipe uses a dairy product as a filling. It is better to take a variety that melts well and has a bright taste and aroma. Alternatively, take mozzarella, parmesan, gouda, maasdam.
Suitable seasonings can be added to enhance the meaty flavor. For example, mustard, paprika, nutmeg, turmeric, rosemary are good for pork.

Step-by-step cooking of deep-fried meatballs with cheese
1. Before you cook the deep-fried meatballs with cheese, make the meat base. To do this, combine the minced meat with 3 tablespoons of bread crumbs and finely chopped onions. Season with salt and black pepper powder. Knead thoroughly.
2. If the minced meat sticks a little to the palms, then they can be moistened in water. We separate a small amount of minced meat, make a round cake with a depression in the center.
3. We cut the hard cheese into small cubes in advance. Then we place it in the groove on the cake and close it with minced meat on top.
4. Next, roll it between your palms to make a beautifully shaped ball. The meatball blanks can be laid out on any dry, flat surface.
5. Beat the egg in a deep plate, add a little salt. Next, dip each meatball into the egg mass.
6. After that, roll in breadcrumbs so that they completely cover the surface of each ball, but do not crumble. The sprinkled crackers will burn in the oil, imparting an unpleasant odor to the finished meatballs.
7. Heat up a large amount of oil in a deep fryer. In the absence of such kitchen equipment, you can use a regular frying pan or stewpan with high sides. Well-heated oil becomes quite runny. It is advisable not to allow it to burn excessively when it starts to smoke. Next, dip a few balls into the oil and fry until a brown crispy coat is formed.
8. When ready, we take it out with a slotted spoon and put it on a plate covered with a paper towel. This will remove excess fat. After a few minutes, serve a plate - a few meatballs, accompanied by fresh herbs, tomato or cream sauce.
9. Hearty and delicious meatballs with deep-fried cheese are ready! They can be served with mashed potatoes or fries, rice or buckwheat porridge, fresh vegetable salads or pickles.
