Parmesan Pearls

Parmesan pearls, call them what you prefer but try them because they are delicious! Can you believe that these little Parmesan nuggets are prepared with only 2 ingredients? Yes that's right, a very quick appetizer to serve for an appetizer, or simply for a savory snack, you will only need egg whites and grated Parmesan cheese, knead, form the Parmesan balls and fry, I tell you right away that you cannot cook them in the oven, because they would become flat, while the fried Parmesan pearls are exactly like the ones you see in the photo, puffy, crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside and golden brown. You can obviously add the ingredients you prefer such as spices or aromatic herbs, I left them simple and my husband when he saw them he couldn't understand what they were, then he tasted them he liked them very much, while my daughter told me that as a flavor they are very reminiscent of Parmesan baskets in a soft version. You just have to try them! Let's see how to make Parmesan bombette or pearls! And if you try them, let me know!

INGREDIENTS

100 g grated Parmesan cheese

2 egg whites

peanut oil

PREPARATION 

To prepare the Parmesan pearls, first put the grated Parmesan cheese in a bowl. Add the egg whites a little at a time and mix with a fork. Continue kneading until you have obtained a compact mixture. If you notice that the dough is moist, don't worry, I initially thought it didn't bind and instead I formed the Parmesan balls perfectly. With your hands, form the Parmesan pearls of the size you prefer. Heat the peanut oil in a non-stick pan. When it is hot, dip the Parmesan pearls a few pieces at a time. You will immediately notice that the fried parmesan nuggets will become well swollen and golden. Drain the Parmesan pearls on a sheet of kitchen paper and enjoy!
