FAQ Section
1. Can I make these cheese balls gluten-free?
Yes! Substitute the all-purpose flour and breadcrumbs with gluten-free alternatives. You can use gluten-free panko breadcrumbs or even crushed gluten-free crackers.
2. What other cheeses can I use?
While mozzarella and cheddar work well for their meltability, you can experiment with other cheeses like gouda, fontina, or even pepper jack for a bit of spice.
3. Can I bake these cheese balls instead of frying?
Yes, you can bake them at 400°F for about 12-15 minutes. The baked version will be a bit less crispy than the fried version but still delicious.
4. How do I store leftovers?
Store any leftover cheese balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, pop them in the oven at 350°F for about 5-7 minutes or until warmed through.
5. Can I freeze the cheese balls?
Yes! These cheese balls freeze beautifully. Freeze them before frying, and when you’re ready to cook, fry them straight from the freezer.
