Deep Fried Cheese Balls Recipes Recipe For Zucchini

FRIED MAC AND CHEESE BALLS

Steps:

• Cook the macaroni according to package instructions. Drain and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking. Drain again and set aside.
• In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Sprinkle the flour into the butter and stir it with a whisk. Cook for 2 minutes. Whisk the warmed milk into the flour mixture, working out any lumps. Cook until the sauce thickens, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat, add the cheeses, and stir until melted and smooth; season with salt and pepper. Fold the cheese sauce into macaroni. Pour the mac and cheese into a shallow pan and refrigerate until cold, at least 2 hours.
• Shape the cold mac and cheese into meatball-sized balls and place them onto a waxed paper-lined tray. Freeze the balls overnight.
• Beat the eggs and 2 tablespoons milk together to form an egg wash and pour it into a shallow bowl. Put the bread crumbs into another shallow bowl. Remove the mac and cheese balls from the freezer. Dip the frozen balls into the egg wash then into the bread crumbs. Put the balls back into the freezer until you are ready to fry.
• Heat the oil in a deep-fat fryer to 350 degrees F. Fry the mac and cheese balls until they are golden brown and center is hot, about 5 minutes. Serve hot with your favorite marinara or Alfredo sauce or combination or both for dipping.

ZUCCHINI BALLS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Lightly grease a cookie sheet.
• Mix all ingredients together in a medium sized bowl.
• Form mixture into small balls (about 1 rounded tablespoon each).
• Place on cookie sheet and flatten slightly, bake for 15 minutes on each side at 350°F.
• Add balls to a marinara sauce and simmer, covered, for 30 minutes.
• Check during simmering to see if more sauce needs to be added.
• Serve with pasta and sauce.
• **NOTE: If you are going to substitute large zucchini for the small ones called for in the recipe, you should squeeze the grated zucchini dry before adding the rest of the ingredients. Large zucchinis contain much more water than small ones, and may cause the mixture to be too wet to hold together.
