Description
Cheesy Parmesan Mozzarella Bites are the ultimate snack — crunchy on the outside, gooey and cheesy on the inside. Perfect for parties, game nights, or anytime you crave a comforting, savory treat.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese: for gooey texture and meltiness
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese: adds nutty, savory flavor
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs: provides extra crunch
- 2 large eggs: helps bind and coat the bites
- Salt and pepper to taste: enhances overall flavor
- Fresh parsley (optional): adds color and freshness
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, mix shredded mozzarella and grated parmesan cheese until evenly combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs with salt and pepper.
- Form the cheese mixture into bite-sized balls, approximately golf ball-sized.
- Dip each ball in the egg mixture, then coat fully with panko breadcrumbs.
- Place the coated bites on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each.
- Bake for 15–20 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
- Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
- Use fresh mozzarella for the best gooey center.
- Don’t overcrowd the baking sheet — space promotes crispiness.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
- Reheat in oven at 350°F (175°C) for best results.
- Try adding herbs like oregano or red pepper flakes for extra flavor.
