Flaming Cheese Balls

For this project I decided to do some Spicy cheese balls, these would be air fried until they are nice and crispy making them crunchy on the outside with a special spicy crust and then some melting and soggy cheese inside giving it an excellent taste. I chose this project because I am very passionate about cooking and enjoy doing it. It is something that I do weekly by cooking on Sundays with my family and personally believe I am very good at it. I also chose this project because I have never cooked fried food, and I am looking forward to using this opportunity to challenge myself and see how good I really am at cooking.

Ingredients

8 oz cheddar cheese grated

1 cup of flour

2 cups bread crumbs

2 eggs large

1 tablespoon water

1 teaspoon chili pepper powder

1 teaspoon garlic powder

vegetable oil

salt and pepper to taste

Equipment

Non-stick skillet

Paper towels

Toothpicks

Perforated turner

Air Fryer

Mix grated cheese with 1/2 teaspoon chili powder.

Take 1 teaspoon of the cheese mix and form a ball.

When all cheese balls are done, roll them through the flour. Mix egg with water and beat well. Mix the bread crumbs with the remaining chili powder. Dip the cheese balls in egg, one at a time, then roll through flour again, then back to egg dipping. Lastly, roll through bread crumbs and nicely coat the whole ball.

When all balls are coated as above, place on air fryer at 180°C, and cook the cheese balls until golden, about 3 minutes.

Remove on a paper towel. Stick a toothpick, so they're easier to grab and serve. And let them still for about 1 min.

Serve the cheese balls on a nice plate and add a dipping sauce on the side of your choice. Finally, take a bite and enjoy the perfect, soggy and spicy cheese balls.
