Fried Macaroni & Cheese Balls

Method

Preparation and Cooking

  1. 1

    Cook the Macaroni

    Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add elbow macaroni and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Cheese Mixture

    In a large bowl, combine cooked macaroni, cheddar cheese, cream cheese, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.

  3. 3

    Form the Balls

    Using your hands, form the mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

  4. 4

    Prepare for Frying

    In a shallow bowl, place flour. In another bowl, beat the eggs. In a third bowl, place bread crumbs. Dredge each ball in flour, dip in egg, and coat with bread crumbs.

  5. 5

    Fry the Balls

    Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat. Once hot, carefully add the macaroni and cheese balls in batches. Fry until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the fried macaroni and cheese balls hot with Thai chili jam on the side for dipping.
