500 g grated provolone cheese
1 egg white
1 level tablespoon wheat flour
1 egg white
1 level tablespoon wheat flour
Where to find ingredients
Look for provolone in the cheese section of supermarkets, deli counters, or specialty food shops. Flour and eggs are usually available in the baking and dairy aisles. If needed, a mild hard cheese can be used as a substitute, but provolone gives the best flavor.
Preparation method
- In a bowl, mix the grated provolone cheese, egg white, and wheat flour
- Knead well with your hands until you get a smooth, even dough
- Shape the dough into small balls
- Heat enough oil in a pan to fry the balls
- Carefully place the provolone balls into the hot oil
- Fry until golden and crisp on all sides
- Remove the fritters from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain excess fat
- Serve hot
