Preparation method

- Add the whole eggs to the cheese mixture and stir well until a smooth dough forms
- Add the all-purpose flour little by little until the dough is firm enough to shape
- Shape small balls with your hands
- Dip each ball in egg white to help the flour stick
- Coat the balls in all-purpose flour or breadcrumbs, covering them completely
- Heat enough oil to fry the balls over medium heat
- Fry the balls until golden and crisp on the outside
- Remove from the oil and place on paper towels to drain excess fat
- Serve hot for the best flavor and texture
