Recipe For Cheese Balls?

[jjdthmpsn]

I have been craving cheese balls but can't seem to find a recipe? I know normal cheese balls are out of the question because of the breading? Anyone have any ideas on a recipe that is good. Also, I don't use a deep fat fryer to fry things like french fries so can you make these in the oven instead of a deep fat fryer. Thanks for any help you have.

I think the frying in oil helps get them crisp before the cheese melts all over the place. Just my guess, as I've never made them. However, I'd think it wouldn't be necessary to use a deep fryer. Maybe just some oil in a frying pan will do, though again I'm not certain.

Anyway, here are two recipes which call for baking them in the oven:

Here's a recipe from my favorite cookbook, Nearly Normal Cooking for Gluten Free Eating by Jules Shepard:

8 oz. cream cheese

1-2 tbs gluten free ranch dressing

1 small jar of dried beef (optional)

1-2 green onions, chopped

salt and pepper to taste

chopped pecans

Blend softened cream cheese with dressing, beef, onions, salt and pepper. Roll in pecans (replaces bread crumbs.) Chill 1-2 hours.

Serve with celery sticks, gluten free crackers or corn chips.

Hope this helps!

Have a great day.
