Crispy & Melty Cheese Balls (Mozzarella)

💡 Tips for the Ultimate Cheese Pull

  • Freezing is Mandatory: Skipping the freezing/chilling step is the number one reason fried cheese balls leak. The cold cheese needs time to get the coating crispy before it completely melts.
  • The Best Cheese: Low-moisture Mozzarella is best. For an even creamier result, mix $1/2$ cup of ricotta or $1/4$ cup of cream cheese into the grated mozzarella.
  • Oil Temperature: Maintain $350^{\circ}\text{F}$ ($175^{\circ}\text{C}$). Check it between batches!
