Where to find ingredients
You can find high-quality provolone cheese at local delicatessens or supermarket dairy aisles. For the best texture, always grate the cheese yourself rather than buying pre-shredded packs. Plain all-purpose flour is standard for this recipe, and any neutral vegetable oil works perfectly for frying.

- In a mixing bowl, combine the grated provolone cheese, the egg white, and the flour.
- Knead well by hand until you achieve a smooth, uniform dough.
- Shape the mixture into small, bite-sized balls.
- Heat enough vegetable oil in a deep pan for frying the bites.
- Carefully drop the provolone balls into the hot oil.
- Fry until they are perfectly golden and crispy on all sides.
- Remove the bites from the oil and drain on paper towels to absorb excess grease.
- Serve while hot.
