Cooking instructions

* Step 1

To start making Italian Cheese Balls you need to put a saucepan on the stove. Drizzle a little bit of olive oil (EVOO) into the pan and add a finely chopped garlic clove.

* Step 2

Once the garlic starts to become translucent you can add the tomato sauce with a couple of basil leaves and a pinch of salt, and let it simmer for about 15 minutes.

* Step 3

While the tomato sauce is cooking, it’s time to start making the Italian cheese balls, so put 4 eggs with grated pecorino cheese and grated parmesan in a large bowl and start to mix well.

* Step 4

VINCENZO’S TIP: I like to use Parmesan just to give extra taste, but you can just use 350g/12,3oz of pecorino if you like!

* Step 5

VINCENZO’S TIP: start with 2 slices, then check the consistency and if it’s too soft put a little bit more of bread.

* Step 6

Now wet your hands, get a small amount of mixture, putting it into the palm of your hand and start rolling your Italian Cheese Balls, neither too big nor too small. To prepare for cooking your cheese balls, put a frying pan on the stove and fill it with olive oil, warming it up to 130 Celsius degree/266 F.

* Step 7

Next, place a few balls into the pan and cook them cheese balls for approximately 2 minutes. Once it starts to turn slightly golden in colour, they should be ready. Take one out and cut it in half to test that it has cooked right through.

* Step 8

The centre should be nice and fluffy and not runny at all. Once the Italian cheese balls are ready, put them on kitchen paper to absorb excess oil and let them rest for about 10 minutes.You can serve your Italian Cheese Balls immersed in the sauce, add a couple of fresh basil leaves and enjoy them nice and hot, It is also a good idea to serve them on their own in a plate, accompanied by a side serve of tasty tomato sauce so guests can choose to have them on their own or using the tomato
