Tips
Ensure the oil is hot enough before frying to prevent the bombs from absorbing excess oil. Use chilled cheese mixture to maintain shape while frying. Serve with a dipping sauce like marinara or spicy mayo for added flavor.
Health Benefits
These creamy fried bombs provide calcium and protein from the cheese, which support bone and muscle health. Using moderate amounts of oil and choosing lighter cheeses can make them a slightly healthier snack option.
