Where to find ingredients
You can find Parmesan and Prato cheeses in most supermarkets in the cheese section. Minas cheese, a mild, fresh cheese, might be available in the dairy aisle or at specialty cheese shops. Heavy cream is readily available in the dairy section of any grocery store. All-purpose flour, baking powder, eggs, black pepper, and salt are pantry staples found in every supermarket.
Preparation method
- Start by combining both types of cheese, eggs, black pepper, and heavy cream in a bowl, mixing everything very well
- Gradually add the all-purpose flour and baking powder, incorporating until you reach the right consistency for a pliable dough
- Shape small spheres using two teaspoons as a guide
- Fry the cheese balls in hot oil until they are nicely golden and crispy
Observations
