👨🍳 How To Make
Follow this easy recipe:
Step 1
Lightly beat the egg whites in a medium bowl. Mix them and Parmesan cheese in a bowl until well combined. Form into small balls and place them on a parchment lined baking sheet.
Step 2
Bake at 350°F for 5-6 minutes. The cheese will melt and spread out flat – this is normal.
Step 3
Remove from oven and let cool for 5-10 minutes, until you can handle them but they’re still flexible. Squeeze and shape each back into a ball.
Step 4
Return to oven for 5 more minutes or until lightly brown. The cheese will spread again slightly.
Step 5
Let cool slightly, then squeeze and shape into balls one final time. Roll each ball in pork rind crumbs. Enjoy!
💡Tips
1. Reshaping
The trickiest part is reshaping the melted cheese back into balls. Don’t wait too long after the first bake – you want them still warm and pliable, but cool enough to handle.
Work quickly but carefully. If they cool too much and become too firm to shape, pop them back in the oven for 30 seconds to soften. Use your fingertips more than your palms for this step – it gives you better control.
2. Storag
These balls need to cool completely before storage – any warmth will create condensation and make them soggy.
Once fully cooled, store them in an airtight container with paper towels on the bottom and top to absorb any moisture.

FAQ
Can I freeze these cheese balls?
Yes, these cheese balls freeze really well! You can freeze them either before or after cooking.
To freeze uncooked balls, place them on a parchment lined tray, freeze until solid (about 2 hours), then transfer to a freezer bag. When ready to cook, no need to thaw – just add a few extra minutes to the cooking time.
For cooked cheese balls, let them cool completely before freezing. To reheat, put them straight from the freezer into a 350°F oven or air fryer until heated through and crispy again.
