Where to find ingredients
Grated provolone cheese, egg whites, and wheat flour can be found at local grocery stores or supermarkets. As a substitute for provolone, high-quality smoked gouda or mozzarella can be used to experiment with texture, though provolone remains the ideal choice for its sharp flavor.
Preparation method
- In a mixing bowl, combine the grated provolone cheese, the egg white, and the wheat flour
- Knead well with your hands until you achieve a smooth and homogeneous dough
- Shape the dough into small, bite-sized balls
- Heat enough oil in a deep pan for frying the cheese bites
- Carefully drop the provolone balls into the hot oil
- Fry until they are golden brown and crispy on all sides
- Remove the bites from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain excess fat
- Serve while hot
