- Begin by combining both types of cheese, eggs, black pepper, and table cream in a bowl, mixing everything thoroughly.
- Gradually add the flour and baking powder, incorporating the ingredients until the dough reaches a pliable consistency.
- Shape the mixture into small spheres, using two teaspoons to help mold them.
- Deep-fry the balls in hot oil until they are deep golden brown and crispy.
