Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Mixture

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the chorizo sausage, cream cheese, cheddar cheese, garlic powder, paprika, black pepper, and finely chopped fresh parsley. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.

  2. 2

    Chill the Mixture

    Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the mixture for at least 30 minutes to firm up, making it easier to shape into bites.

Coating and Cooking

  1. 3

    Set Up Your Breading Station

    Prepare three shallow bowls. In the first bowl, place the flour. In the second bowl, beat the egg. In the third bowl, add the breadcrumbs.

  2. 4

    Shape the Bites

    Once the mixture is chilled, take small portions (about 1 tablespoon) and shape them into bite-sized balls.

  3. 5

    Coat the Bites

    Roll each ball in the flour, then dip it in the beaten egg, and finally roll it in the breadcrumbs until fully coated.

  4. 6

    Fry the Bites

    In a large frying pan, heat oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the coated chorizo bites in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown.

  5. 7

    Drain and Serve

    Once cooked, remove the bites from the pan and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
