Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
- Marinara sauce, for dipping (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
- Make the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, flour, baking powder, garlic powder, and dried oregano. Add salt and pepper to taste. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk, then pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir until the mixture forms a dough.
- Form the Bites: Using your hands, shape the dough into small bite-sized balls, about 1 inch in diameter, and place them onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake the Bites: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese bites are golden brown and crispy on the outside.
- Serve: Serve your Cheesy Parmesan Mozzarella Bites hot with a side of marinara sauce for dipping and a sprinkle of fresh parsley on top.
Notes
- Make sure to space the bites apart on the baking sheet to allow for even cooking.
- If you want extra crispy bites, bake for a few minutes longer, but keep a close eye on them to avoid over-baking.
- Garnish with additional fresh parsley for added color and flavor.
