Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup freshly milled soft white flour (122 g)
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 4 ounces mozzarella cheese block
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon milk
- ¼ cup breadcrumbs (32 g)
- 2 tablespoons finely grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the dough ingredients: 2 eggs, 1 cup flour, and ¼ teaspoon salt. Mix with a fork until a shaggy dough forms. Transfer to a floured surface and knead for 1–2 minutes. Cover and let rest for 30 minutes.
- Cut the mozzarella into ¼ inch cubes for the filling.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and milk for the breading.
- Combine breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper in another small bowl, and mix.
- Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Roll out the dough, cut it into ½ inch strips, and then cross-cut into ½ inch squares.
- Place a cube of cheese in the center of a square of dough, cover with another dough piece, seal the edges, and roll into a ball. Repeat for remaining cheese.
- Dip each cheese ball into the egg mixture, then coat in the breadcrumb mixture. Place on the baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes.
- Allow to cool slightly before serving.
Notes
For extra flavor, use different types of cheese in the filling.
Ensure the dough is well-kneaded for the best texture.
Cool the cheese balls slightly to allow the flavors to meld before serving.
