ANTIPASTI I - CHEESE BALLS

CHEESE BALLS

This is really easy to prepare and is perfect for munchies, antipasti or even for a main course.

You will need about 40 minutes to prepare and cook these appetizers and about 5 minutes to eat them!

Servings - 4

WHAT YOU NEED:
- 3/4 lb or approx. 1/2 kg of white bread (pugliese is the best... that is salted bread)
- 1.5 tablespoons parsley finely chopped
- 2 cloves of garlic, chopped (I'm a garlic monster so I normally go heavy on it)
- 5 eggs
- 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 8 oz grated Pecorino cheese (in kg.. well go heavy on it for more flavor, 200-300 gr

PREPARATION:
In a good size bowl mix the inside of a loaf of bread (no crust) along with the Pecorino and the eggs. Mix well together then add the chopped garlic and parsley, form balls (golf ball size) / polpettine. Frie them in hot olive oil and your done!

You can also eat these with a ragu sauce, in which case you will need to frie the polpettine first, then add to your ragu / tomatoe sauce during the last 10 minutes of cooking.

ENJOY !
