Ingredients

– 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
– ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
– 1 cup breadcrumbs (Panko recommended for extra crunch)
– 2 large eggs
– ½ cup all-purpose flour
– ½ teaspoon garlic powder
– ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
– Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

Creating Irresistible Cheesy Parmesan Mozzarella Bites is straightforward. Follow these steps for a successful appetizer:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) if you plan to bake the bites.
2. Mix Cheeses: In a mixing bowl, combine the mozzarella and parmesan cheese. Stir until evenly blended.
3. Prepare the Breading Stations: Set up three shallow dishes: one with flour, another with beaten eggs, and the last with breadcrumbs mixed with garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
4. Form Bites: Using your hands, scoop about a tablespoon of the cheese mixture and form it into small balls or bites.
5. Coat the Bites: First, roll each bite in flour, then dip it into the beaten eggs, and finally coat it with the seasoned breadcrumbs. Ensure an even coating for optimal texture.
6. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the coated bites on a greased baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced apart to allow even cooking.
7. Bake or Fry: Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden, or you can heat oil in a frying pan and fry the bites for about 2-3 minutes on each side, achieving a crispy exterior.
8. Cool Slightly: Allow them to cool for about 10 minutes. This helps set the cheese as well as makes them easier to handle.

By following these steps, you’ll create perfectly golden and cheesy bites that everyone will rave about!
