Mozzarella Cheese Sticks - Serves 8

Prep time: 15 mins, Cooking time: 10 mins

Easy to prepare, these deep-fried snacks are crispy from the outside with gooey cheese on the insides.

Ingredients

2	Eggs
1/4 cup	Water
1 1/2 cups	Seasoned breadcrumbs
1/2 tsp	Garlic salt
2/3 cup	Flour
1/3	Cornstarch
2 cups	Vegetable oil
1 block	Mozzarella, cut into sticks

Method

In three separate bowls, set up your breading station. In the first bowl, whisk together the eggs and water. In the second bowl, combine the breadcrumbs and garlic salt. In the third bowl, mix the all-purpose flour and cornstarch.
Heat the oil in a large saucepan and one at a time, dredge a mozzarella stick in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess. Dip the stick into the mixture and then coat the cheese stick with breadcrumb mixture.
Place the bread stick on a plate and repeat with all the remaining cheese sticks. Now carefully fry the sticks until golden brown.
Remove the fried sticks from the oil and drain them on paper towels. Repeat the same with the remaining breaded cheese and enjoy.

Cheese Balls - Serves - 20

Prep time: 20 mins, Cooking time: 15 mins

These light, airy and savoury cheese puffs made with cheddar cheese and all-purpose flour are great to binge in the evening.

Ingredients

1/ 2 cup	Flour
4	Eggs
1 stick	Butter
1 cup	Water
1 cup	Cheddar cheese, grated
2 tsp	Thyme
1/2 tsp	Salt
To taste	Freshly ground pepper

Method

Preheat oven to 220°C (425°F). Line a baking sheet with silicone or parchment paper. Boil the water, butter, and salt: In a medium saucepan, combine water, butter, and salt. Bring to a boil over high heat.
Reduce heat to medium and immediately add the flour all at once. Stir rapidly with a wooden spoon until the mixture forms a dough ball that pulls away from the sides of the pan. Continue cooking for a couple of minutes, stirring constantly.
Remove the pan from heat and let the dough cool for a few minutes. Stir occasionally to cool evenly. Add the eggs one by one, beating well after each addition until fully incorporated.
Gently fold in the grated cheese, chopped thyme, and a few grinds of black pepper. Scoop tablespoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving at least an inch between each. Bake for 10 minutes at 425°F (220°C).
Reduce oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes.
