Cheesy Easy Couscous Balls
loading...
X
Ingredients
- 1 box of quick cooking Couscous (I prefer olive oil and garlic flavored Couscous)
- ¾ cup shredded Italian blend cheese
- 2 eggs, whisked
- 1.5 c panko bread crumbs
- Salt and pepper
- 1 to 1.5 c vegetable oil
Steps
- Cook the Couscous according to the package directions. Cool. For at least 15 min or until you can handle it easily without burning your hands.
- Add in the cheese. Stir to combine. The cheese will melt slightly and act as a binder for the Couscous.
- Just like meatballs, roll the mixture into little balls and set aside.
- In one dish whisk your eggs. In a separate dish add your panko bread crumbs and a pinch or two of salt and pepper.
- Add oil to a frying pan or cast iron skillet and heat on high while you assemble the cheesy Couscous Balls.
- Roll them one at a time in the egg and then in the bread crumbs, being careful to coat them completely.
- Shallow fry them in the vegetable oil. They cook quickly- about 1 to 2 minutes per side. Then place them on a paper towel. This will help take away any extra oil. Season them with a pinch of salt while hot.
