Cheesy Parmesan Mozzarella Bites are a delightful appetizer that combines the best of both worlds: gooey, melted mozzarella and rich, savory Parmesan. These bites are crispy on the outside and wonderfully cheesy on the inside, making them a perfect finger food for any occasion.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Cooking spray or oil for frying
- Optional: marinara sauce for dipping
Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella, grated Parmesan, flour, egg, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix until a dough forms.
- Using your hands, shape the mixture into small balls (about 1 inch in diameter) and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Lightly spray the tops of the cheese bites with cooking spray or drizzle with a little oil to help them brown.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy on the outside.
- Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Serve warm with marinara sauce for dipping, if desired.
