Savory Cheese Bites - cooking recipe

Ingredients

3/4 c. finely grated natural Cheddar cheese
1 1/2 c. soft white breadcrumbs
2 eggs, beaten
salt and pepper to taste
2 tsp. prepared mustard
dry breadcrumbs
oil for deep frying

Preparation

Combine cheese and breadcrumbs in a bowl.
Beat the eggs until frothy and mix in the salt, pepper and mustard.
Combine with the cheese mixture and form into small balls.
If mixture is too moist, add a little more soft breadcrumbs, but do not make the texture too dry and crumbly to coat.
Heat oil for deep frying in wok and when hot, fry a few of the cheese balls at a time on medium heat until they are golden brown all over.
Lift out and drain on absorbent paper.
Serve warm or cold.
Makes about 2 dozen.
