Ingredients of Cheese Bites
For the Cheese Bites:
* We required 1-inch cubes of mozzarella or cheddar 200g each
* ½ cup all-purpose flour
* 2 large eggs, beaten
* 1 cup breadcrumbs (panko or regular)
* ½ tsp garlic powder (optional)
* ½ tsp black pepper
* Salt to taste
* Oil for deep frying
Step-by-Step Instructions of Cheese Bites
1. Prep the Cheese Cubes
* Cut your cheese into bite-sized cubes (about 1 inch each).
* Place in the freezer for 10 minutes to prevent melting too quickly during frying.
2. Set Up a Breading Station
* Bowl 1: All-purpose flour combined with garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
* Bowl 2: Beaten eggs.
* Bowl 3: Breadcrumbs.
3. Coat the Cheese Cubes
* Coat all sides of each cube by rolling it in the flour.
* Make sure to completely cover by dipping into the egg mixture.
* Ensure the breadcrumbs are pressed in gently for better coating.
Tip: For extra crunch, double coat: dip the breadcrumb-covered cubes back in egg and breadcrumbs again.
4. Freeze Again
* After placing the coated cheese nibbles on a tray, freeze them for ten to fifteen minutes.
This helps prevent leaks while frying.
5. Deep Fry Until Golden
* Heat oil in a deep pan (about 350°F / 175°C).
* Fry cheese bites in small batches until golden brown (1–2 minutes max).
* To drain extra oil, remove with a slotted spoon and set on paper towels.
6. Serve Immediately
* Serve piping hot with ketchup, garlic mayo, sriracha, or ranch for dipping.
Serving Suggestions

* Spicy marinara sauce
* Green chutney for a Desi kick

* As a side for burgers or wraps
