Fried, cheesy goodness made in the comforts of you home! Why buy them when you can make Homemade Fried Cheeseballs at home?!
You can experiment yourself to see whether you like one layer of bread coating or two on your cheeseballs… I personally go for the two layers because that way the cheese doesn’t ooze out into your fryer as quick and you get a nice golden outside layer with a melted center. Perfect if you ask me! It doesn’t take much longer to just add a double coating.
