Bolitas de Queso

Step 1

Add the panko crumbs to a blender or mini food chopper and blend until fine crumbs form. Set aside.

Using a food processor or box grater, grate the cheese and place in a bowl.

Step 3

Add the flour to the cheese and combine well.

Step 4

Add the egg whites and using your hands combine well into the cheese.

Step 5

Form small cheeseballs and toss them in the panko crumbs. Refrigerate for 30 minutes before frying.

Step 6

Make the mayoketchup dipping sauce by combining mayonnaise, ketchup and the garlic in a small bowl and mix well. Set aside.

Step 7

Add about one-inch of oil to a skillet and heat over medium heat. When the oil is heated through, add a few of the cheeseballs at a time to fry, making sure not to overcrowd the skillet. Cook for about a minute before turning them over. When the cheeseballs have a beautiful golden hue, remove them with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
